United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
Submitted:  April 29, 1988.Decided:  May 26, 1988.

Morris Riddick, Jr., appellant pro se.
Katherine Baldwin Toone (Office of the Attorney General), for appellee.
Before JAMES DICKSON PHILLIPS, MURNAGHAN and ERVIN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:

1
Morris Riddick, Jr. 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.  Riddick v. Murray, C/A No. 86-865-N (E.D.Va. Apr. 20, 1987).  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.
