United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit

This document is an unpublished court decision from 1987 in which the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed an appeal from two pro se petitioners, George Moses and Orlandor Smith, seeking habeas corpus relief. In a per curiam opinion, the Court found no merit to an appeal of the district court's refusal of habeas corpus relief under 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2254. The issues had been recently decided authoritatively, so the Court denied a certificate of probable cause to appeal and dismissed the case based on the reasoning of the district court.

v.
William D. LEEKE, Commissioner of the South Carolina
Department of Corrections, Travis Medlock, the
Attorney General of the state of South
Carolina, Respondents-Appellees.
No. 87-7561.

United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.


Submitted Oct. 5, 1987.
Decided Oct. 29, 1987.

George N. Moses and Orlandor Smith, appellants pro se.


Donald John Zelenka, Chief Deputy Attorney General, for appellees.
Before DONALD RUSSELL, K.K. HALL, and MURNAGHAN, Circuit
Judges.
PER CURIAM:

A review of the record and the district court's opinion accepting the
magistrate's recommendation 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. Moses v. Leeke, C/A
Nos. 85-1304, 85-1271 (D.S.C. Feb. 5, 1987).

DISMISSED.
