Jimmy Conner, appellant pro se.

Thomas Drummond Bagwell, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.

Before WIDENER, K.K. HALL, and JAMES DICKSON PHILLIPS, 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. Conner v. Rogers, C/A No. 86-292-R (E.D.Va. Dec. 3, 1986). Appellant's motion for appointment of counsel is denied.

¶2

DISMISSED.
