Richard Norwood League, Office of the Attorney General, Raleigh, N.C., for appellees.

M.D.N.C.

DISMISSED

Before DONALD RUSSELL, WILKINSON and WILKINS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

¶1

Charles Sonny Bostic 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 accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge 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. Bostic v. Johnson, CA-90-314-1 (M.D.N.C. Feb. 28, 1991).1 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.

We also deny Bostic's motion to hold in abeyance or dismiss without prejudice
