    This document is a court case summary from the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. It summarizes the court's decision to affirm the district court's refusal of relief to Thomas James Morgan under 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2255. The court found Morgan's appeal to be without merit and his assertion of ineffective counsel for not raising a double jeopardy claim to be meritless. The court affirmed the district court's ruling based on the reasoning provided in an earlier case from the Northern District of West Virginia.

    PER CURIAM:

    Thomas James Morgan appeals from the district court's order refusing relief
    under 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2255. Our review of the record and the district court's
    opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit.* Accordingly, we affirm on
    the reasoning of the district court. United States v. Morgan, CR No. 84-2-E;
    C/A No. 89-48-E-(K) (N.D.W.Va. Apr. 3, 1989). We dispense with oral
    argument because the dispositive issues recently have been decided
    authoritatively.
    AFFIRMED.

    to be a meritless double jeopardy claim fails
