    No. 89-7513.

    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.


    Submitted Feb. 28, 1989.
    Decided March 28, 1989.

    Paul D.J. West, appellant pro se.


    William W. Muse, Office of the Attorney General, for appellees.
    Before DONALD RUSSELL and K.K. HALL, Circuit Judges, and
    BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge.
    PER CURIAM:

    Paul D.J. West seeks to appeal the district court's order refusing habeas corpus
    relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2254. Our review of the record and the district
    court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we
    deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal and dismiss the appeal on the
    reasoning of the district court.* West v. Muncy, C/A No. 88-808-R (E.D.Va.
    Jan. 10, 1989). We dispense with oral argument because the dispositive issues
    recently have been decided authoritatively.

    DISMISSED.

    DISMISSED.

    We note that West may still pursue his claims under 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983 and
    that the appropriate Sec. 1983 forms may be obtained from the district court
