    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.


    Submitted March 2, 1992.
    Decided March 17, 1992.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of
    Virginia, at Roanoke. James C. Turk, Chief District Judge. (CA-91-357R)
    Wesley V. Shortt, appellant pro se. Robert Harkness Herring, Jr.,

    W.D.Va.
    DISMISSED.
    Before SPROUSE and WILKINSON, Circuit Judges, and CHAPMAN,
    Senior Circuit Judge.
    OPINION
    PER CURIAM:

    Wesley V. Shortt seeks to appeal the district court's order refusing habeas
    corpus relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 2254 (1988). 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. Shortt v. Murray, No. CA-91-357R (W.D.Va. Nov. 7, 1991). We dispense with oral argument because the facts
    and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the Court
    and argument would not aid the decisional process.

    DISMISSED.
