    Barry Steven McNeill, Office of the Attorney General, for appellees.
    Before MURNAGHAN, ERVIN, and CHAPMAN, Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM:

    Eddie Wayne Wilkes seeks to appeal the district court's order denying his
    petition for a writ of habeas corpus, filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2254. Our
    review of the record and of the district court's order adopting the magistrate's
    findings and recommendations reveals that this appeal is without merit.
    Accordingly, we deny a certificate of probable cause and dismiss the appeal on
    the reasoning of the district court. Wilkes v. Griffin, C/A No. 87-94-S
    (M.D.N.C. Sept. 255, 1987). We dispense with oral argument because the
    dispositive issues recently have been decided authoritatively.

    DISMISSED.
