Curtis E. Crawford v. State of Maryland

829 F.2d 35 Unpublished Disposition NOTICE: Fourth Circuit I.O.P. 36.6 states that citation of unpublished dispositions is disfavored except for establishing res judicata, estoppel, or the law of the case and requires service of copies of cited unpublished dispositions of the Fourth Circuit. Curtis E. CRAWFORD, Petitioner-Appellant, v. STATE of Maryland, Respondent-Appellee. No. 87-6521 United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit. Submitted May 19, 1987. Decided September 3, 1987. Curtis E. Crawford, appellant pro se. Valerie W. Loftin, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee. Before K.K. HALL, CHAPMAN and WILKINS, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM: [1] A review of the record and the district court's opinion accepting the magistrate's recommendation 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, deny appointment of counsel, dispense with oral argument, and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Crawford v. State of Maryland, C/A No. 85-4662-M (D.Md., Dec. 11, 1986). [2] DISMISSED.
