    The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit dismissed Michael Leon Hill's appeal of a district court's denial of habeas corpus relief under 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2254. The Fourth Circuit found that the appeal lacked merit based on a review of the record and district court's opinion. The Fourth Circuit also determined that the dispositive issues had been recently decided authoritatively. Therefore, the Fourth Circuit denied a certificate of probable cause to appeal, denied leave to proceed in forma pauperis, and dismissed the appeal based on the reasoning of the district court.

    v.
    Edward W. MURRAY, Respondent-Appellee.
    No. 88-6502.

    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.


    Submitted Feb. 10, 1988.
    Decided March 10, 1988.

    Michael Leon Hill, appellant pro se.


    Linwood Theodore Wells, Jr., Office of Attorney General, for appellee.
    E.D.Va.
    DISMISSED.
    Before WIDENER, K.K. HALL, and SPROUSE, Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM:

    A review of the record and the district court's opinion 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, deny
    leave to proceed in forma pauperis, dispense with oral argument, and dismiss
    the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Hill v. Murray, CA-86-1431AM (E.D.Va. Dec. 9, 1987).

    DISMISSED.

    DISMISSED.
