    In re Joseph Marion HEAD, Jr., Petitioner-Appellant.
    No. 86-7272.

    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.


    Submitted Nov. 28, 1986.
    Decided Jan. 15, 1987.

    Before RUSSELL, WIDENER and SPROUSE, Circuit Judges.


    Joseph Marion Head, Jr., appellant pro se.
    PER CURIAM:

    A review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal
    from its order denying relief under 28 U.S.C. 2254 and 42 U.S.C. 1983 is
    without merit. To the extent that the petition raises claims under 2254 we
    deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal and dismiss the appeal on the
    reasoning of the district court. We affirm the denial of relief under 1983 on
    the reasoning of the district court and dispense with oral argument as it would
    not significantly aid the decisional process. In re: Joseph Marion Head, Jr., C/A
    No. 86-0228 (W.D.N.C., Aug. 22, 1986).

    DISMISSED IN PART, AFFIRMED IN PART.
