804 F.2d 1250 Unpublished Disposition NOTICE: Fourth Circuit I.O.P. 36.6 states that citation of unpublished dispositions is disfavored except for establishing res judicata, estoppel, or the law of the case and requires service of copies of cited unpublished dispositions of the Fourth Circuit. Burdell MASON, Appellant, v. Allyn R. SIELAFF, Director; Gerald Baliles, Attorney General, Appellees. No. 86-6550. United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit. Submitted July 22, 1986. Decided Nov. 13, 1986. Burdell Mason, appellant pro se. Todd E. LePage, Assistant Attorney General, for appellees. E.D.Va. DISMISSED. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Richmond. Robert R. Merhige, District Judge. (C/A No. 85-0217-R) Before PHILLIPS, CHAPMAN and WILKINS, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM: [1] A review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that an 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. Mason v. Sielaff, C/A No. 85-0217-R (E.D.Va., June 11, 1986 and Jan. 24, 1986). [2] DISMISSED.
