Dismissed.
Before PHILLIPS, MURNAGHAN, and LUTTIG, Circuit Judges.
OPINION
PER CURIAM:
Joseph Sledge, Jr. seeks to appeal the district court's order refusing habeas corpus relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1988). Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court.* Sledge v. Fisher, No. CA-92-348-HC-BR (E.D.N.C. May 28 and June 9, 1992). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the Court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
We construe Sledge's fourth ground for relief as simply an attempted explanation for why his other three claims allegedly were not presented in his previous petitions rather than as a separate ground for habeas relief
