Submitted: Oct. 31, 1988. Decided: Dec. 22, 1988. Moses Shelton White, appellant pro se. Richard Norwood League (Office of the Attorney General), for appellees. Before DONALD RUSSELL and SPROUSE, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge. PER CURIAM: [1] Moses Shelton White seeks to appeal the district court's order refusing habeas corpus relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2254.* Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. White v. Bullock, C/A No. 86-1267-HC (E.D.N.C. Oct. 22, 1987). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the Court and argument would not aid the decisional process. [2] DISMISSED. Footnotes [-s] * Although we initially dismissed this case because the record did not contain a timely notice of appeal, we granted a rehearing when we were presented with a timely notice of appeal which had been returned to White by the district court
