    Bobby Gene WHISENANT, Petitioner-Appellant,
    v.
    Robert O. ELLIOTT, Lacy H. Thornburg, Attorney General of
    the State of North Carolina, Respondents-Appellees.
    No. 86-7250.

    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.


    Submitted: Aug. 24, 1987.
    Decided: Oct. 28, 1987.

    Before WIDENER and WILKINS, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER,


    Senior Circuit Judge.
    Bobby Gene Whisenant, appellant pro se.
    Richard Norwood League, Office of Attorney General, for appellees.
    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,
    dispense with oral argument, and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the
    district court. Whisenant v. Elliott, C/A No. 86-0144 (W.D.N.C. Aug. 14,
    1986).

    DISMISSED.
