Palmer St. Clair Rutherford, Jr. (Willcox & Savage, PC), for appellee.

Before DONALD RUSSELL, JAMES DICKSON PHILLIPS and WILKINSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

¶1

Dock H. Dillman, Jr., appeals the district court's order denying relief under 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983 and dismissing without prejudice his 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2254 claims. Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Dillman v. Carpenter, C/A No. 88-362-N (E.D.Va. Sept. 23, 1988). We dispense with oral argument because the dispositive issues have recently been decided authoritatively.

¶2

AFFIRMED.
