    William C. SMITH, Petitioner-Appellant,
    v.
    Edward W. MURRAY, Director of the Virginia Department of
    Correction, Respondent-Appellee.
    No. 87-7296.

    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.


    Submitted Nov. 30, 1987.
    Decided April 1, 1988.

    William C. Smith, appellant pro se.


    Robert Homer Anderson, III, Office of the Attorney General of Virginia,
    for appellee.
    Before DONALD RUSSELL, WIDENER, and JAMES DICKSON
    PHILLIPS, Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM:

    A review of the record and the district court's opinion accepting the
    magistrate's recommendation 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. Murray, C/A
    No. 86-267-N (E.D.Va. July 27, 1987).
    DISMISSED.
