    This document summarizes a court case from the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit on February 3, 1995. The court dismissed the appeal of Raymond Billy Sims, who had filed a habeas corpus petition under 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2254 challenging his conviction that was denied by the district court. The appeals court found no abuse of discretion in the district court's rulings and that the appeal was without merit. It therefore denied a certificate of probable cause and dismissed the appeal based on the reasoning of the district court in its June 13, 1994 and July 7, 1994 rulings. The court also denied the appellant's request for oral arguments, finding the facts and legal issues were adequately presented in the case

    Raymond Billy SIMS, Petitioner--Appellant,
    v.
    Edward W. MURRAY, Respondent--Appellee.
    No. 94-7008.

    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.


    Submitted Dec. 13, 1994.
    Decided Feb. 3, 1995.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
    Virginia, at Alexandria. Albert V. Bryan, Jr., Senior District Judge. (CA94-393-AM)
    E.D.Va.
    DISMISSED.
    Raymond Billy Sims, Appellant Pro Se.
    Thomas Drummond Bagwell, Asst. Atty. Gen., Richmond, VA, for
    Appellee.
    Before WIDENER and NIEMEYER, Circuit Judges, and PHILLIPS,
    Senior Circuit Judge.
    PER CURIAM.

    Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's orders denying relief on his 28
    U.S.C. Sec. 2254 (1988) petition and denying reconsideration. Our review of
    the record and the district court's opinions discloses no abuse of discretion and
    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.
    Sims v. Murray, No. CA-94-393-AM (E.D. Va. June 13, 1994 & July 7, 1994).
    We deny Appellant's motion for 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
