    v.
    James E. JOHNSON, Warden, Respondent-Appellee.
    No. 88-6531.

    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.


    Submitted: April 19, 1988.
    Decided: May 27, 1988.

    James Sullivan, Jr., appellant pro se.


    Before SPROUSE and CHAPMAN, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER,
    Senior Circuit Judge.
    PER CURIAM:

    James Sullivan, a Virginia inmate, appeals from the dismissal of his 28 U.S.C.
    Sec. 2254 petition. We agree with the district court that Sullivan was not
    entitled to habeas corpus relief. Sullivan had an opportunity for full and fair
    litigation of his fourth amendment claims. He also failed to state an ineffective
    assistance of counsel claim. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of probable
    cause to appeal, dispense with oral argument because the dispositive issues
    recently have been decided authoritatively, and dismiss the appeal.

    DISMISSED.
