    Charles Kenneth HOPKINS, Petitioner-Appellant,
    v.
    Howard Nathaniel LYLES, Respondent-Appellee.
    No. 87-6542.

    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.


    Submitted: May 29, 1987.
    Decided: Nov. 18, 1987.

    Charles Kenneth Hopkins, appellant pro se.


    J. Joseph Curran, Jr., Attorney General, Valerie Johnston Smith, Office of
    Attorney General, for appellees.
    Before DONALD RUSSELL, CHAPMAN, and WILKINSON, Circuit
    Judges.
    PER CURIAM:

    A review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this 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. Hopkins v. Lyles, C/A No. 86-1046-S (D.Md., Jan. 16, 1987).

    DISMISSED.
