    Tennis Madison filed a pro se lawsuit under 42 U.S.C. Section 1983 against North Carolina officials and a county sheriff's department. The district court adopted the magistrate's recommendation to refuse relief. The Fourth Circuit affirmed the district court's decision without oral argument, finding the appeal meritless based on recently decided issues. The dispositive issues had been authoritatively decided, so the Fourth Circuit affirmed the lower court's reasoning in dismissing the case.

    v.

    Attorney General; Lee County Sheriff's
    Department; D.F. Holder; Lewis Brown,
    Defendants-Appellees.
    No. 87-3627.

    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.


    Submitted Nov. 16, 1987.
    Decided Dec. 10, 1987.

    Tennis Madison, pro se.


    Before DONALD RUSSELL, MURNAGHAN, and SPROUSE, Circuit
    Judges.
    PER CURIAM:

    A review of the record and the district court's opinion accepting the
    recommendation of the magistrate discloses that this appeal from its order
    refusing relief under 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983 is without merit. Because the
    dispositive issues recently have been decided authoritatively, we dispense with
    oral argument and affirm the judgment below on the reasoning of the district
    court. Madison v. Hunt, C/A No. 87-155-D (M.D.N.C. Sept. 9, 1987).

    AFFIRMED.
