Douglas MacArthur Martin v. State of Maryland

841 F.2d 1123 Unpublished Disposition NOTICE: Fourth Circuit I.O.P. 36.6 states that citation of unpublished dispositions is disfavored except for establishing res judicata, estoppel, or the law of the case and requires service of copies of cited unpublished dispositions of the Fourth Circuit. Douglas MacArthur MARTIN, Petitioner-Appellant, v. STATE OF MARYLAND, Respondent-Appellee. No. 87-6663. United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit. Submitted: Jan. 29, 1988. Decided: Feb. 29, 1988. Douglas MacArthur Martin, appellant pro se. Jillyn Kaberle Schulze, Valerie Valenti Cloutier, Office of the Attorney General, for appellee. Before ERVIN and WILKINS, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge. PER CURIAM: [1] 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 is 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. Martin v. State of Maryland, C/A No. 85-3255-H (D.Md. Sept. 23, 1987). [2] DISMISSED.
