    This document is a court case summary from the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. It summarizes that Leo Johnson appealed the district court's denial of his petition for habeas corpus relief under 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2254. The appeals court reviewed the record and district court opinion adopting the magistrate's recommendation, and found the appeal lacked merit. As such, the appeals court denied a certificate of probable cause to appeal and dismissed the case based on the reasoning of the district court in Johnson v. Hedrick, C/A No. 87-68-E.

    Leo JOHNSON, Petitioner-Appellant,
    v.
    Jerry HEDRICK, Warden, West Virginia Penitentiary,
    Respondent-Appellee.
    No. 88-7664.

    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.


    Submitted Jan. 6, 1989.
    Decided Feb. 27, 1989.

    Leo Johnson, appellant pro se.


    Mary R. Maloy, Office of the Attorney General of West Virginia, for
    appellee.
    Before K.K. HALL, PHILLIPS, and SPROUSE, Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM:

    Leo Johnson seeks to appeal the district court's order refusing habeas corpus
    relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2254. Our review of the record and the district
    court's opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate 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.
    Johnson v. Hedrick, C/A No. 87-68-E (N.D.W.Va., June 6, 1988). We dispense
    with oral argument because the dispositive issues recently have been decided
    authoritatively.
    DISMISSED.
