    Lawrence HUGHES, Petitioner-Appellant,
    v.
    STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA; T. Travis Medlock,
    Attorney General
    of the State, Respondents-Appellees.
    No. 87-7056

    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.


    Submitted July 23, 1987.
    Decided August 27, 1987.

    Lawrence Hughes, appellant pro se.


    William Alva Ready, III, Office of the Attorney General of South
    Carolina, for appellees.
    Before WIDENER, JAMES DICKSON PHILLIPS and ERVIN, Circuit
    Judges.
    PER CURIAM:

    A review of the record and the district court's opinion accepting the
    magistrate's recommendation 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. Hughes v. South
    Carolina, C/A No. 85-1084 (D.S.C., Feb. 20, 1987).

    DISMISSED.
