Willie Smith, Petitioner-Appellant,
v.
Harry L. ALLSBROOK, Lacy H. Thornburg, Attorney General of
North Carolina, Respondents-Appellees.
No. 87-7765.
United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
Submitted Dec. 30, 1987.
Decided Jan. 28, 1988.
Willie Smith, appellant pro se.
Richard Norwood League, Office of the Attorney General of North Carolina, for appellees.
Before DONALD RUSSELL and CHAPMAN, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge.
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, dispense with oral argument, and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Smith v. Allsbrook, C/A No. 87-149-HC (E.D.N.C. Nov. 16, 1987).
DISMISSED.
