    This document is an unpublished court case from the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit from 1988. It affirms the district court's denial of relief to John A. Leonard under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The appeals court found the appeal to be without merit based on its review of the record and district court opinion. It granted Leonard's request to proceed in forma pauperis but affirmed the lower court's ruling based on the reasoning in that court's February 22, 1988 decision. The appeals court dispensed with oral argument since the issues had been recently decided by authoritative rulings.

    John A. LEONARD, Plaintiff-Appellant,
    v.
    Edward MURRAY; James E. Johnson, Defendants-Appellees.
    No. 88-6011.

    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.


    Submitted: April 28, 1988.
    Decided: June 8, 1988.

    John A. Leonard, appellant pro se.


    Richard Francis Gorman, III (Office of the Attorney General), for
    appellees.
    Before K.K. HALL, SPROUSE and CHAPMAN, Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM:

    John A. Leonard seeks to appeal the district court's order denying relief under
    42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983. Our review of the record and the district court's opinion
    discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, although we grant
    leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we affirm on the reasoning of the district
    court. Leonard v. Murray, C/A No. 87-50-L (W.D.Va. Feb. 22, 1988). We
    dispense with oral argument because the dispositive issues recently have been
    decided authoritatively.

    AFFIRMED.
