OPINION

PER CURIAM:

¶1

Jacob C. Higgs seeks to appeal the district court's order refusing habeas corpus relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 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. Higgs v. Terry, No. CA-91-167-R (W.D.Va. May 24, 1991).* 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 hereby grant Higgs's motion to voluntarily dismiss defendant Mary Sue Terry
