    Arthur Lee Hunter filed a petition for habeas corpus relief that was denied by a magistrate. The court reviewed the record and magistrate's opinion and found that an appeal would be without merit because the dispositive issues had already been authoritatively decided. As a result, the court denied a certificate of probable cause to appeal, did not hold oral arguments, and dismissed the appeal, agreeing with the reasoning of the magistrate who had previously denied habeas corpus relief.

    Arthur Lee HUNTER, Petitioner-Appellant,
    v.
    R.M. MUNCY, Mary Sue Terry, Attorney General of Virginia,
    Respondents- Appellees.
    No. 86-7688.

    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.


    Submitted Nov. 28, 1986.
    Decided Jan. 20, 1987.

    Before PHILLIPS, SPROUSE and WILKINS, Circuit Judges.


    Arthur Lee Hunter, appellant pro se.
    Frank S. Ferguson, Office of the Attorney General, for appellees.
    PER CURIAM:

    A review of the record and the magistrate's opinion discloses that an appeal
    from his order refusing habeas corpus relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 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
    magistrate. 28 U.S.C. 636(c)(1). Hunter v. Muncy, C/A No. 86-561-R
    (E.D.Va., Oct. 21, 1986).

    DISMISSED.
