Sammy USSERY, Plaintiff-Appellant,
v.
Nathan RICE, Warden; Attorney General of the State of North
Carolina, Defendants-Appellees,
No. 86-6594.
United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
Submitted Nov. 7, 1986.
Decided Jan. 5, 1987.
Sammy Ussery, appellant pro se.
Barry Steven McNeill, Office of the Attorney General, for Appellees.
Before WIDENER, SPROUSE and WILKINS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
A review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that an appeal from its order refusing habeas corpus relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2254 would be without merit. Because the dispositive issues recently have been decided authoritatively, we deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal, deny appellant's request for appointment of counsel, dispense with oral argument, and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Ussery v. Rice, C/A No. 84-135-ST (W.D.N.C., March 20, 1986).
DISMISSED.
