William F. JOHNSON, Petitioner-Appellant,
v.
P.L. HUFFMAN, Warden, Bland Correctional Center,
Respondent-Appellee.
No. 96-6425.
United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
Submitted July 23, 1996.
Decided Aug. 5, 1996.
William F. Johnson, Appellant Pro Se. Susan Campbell Alexander,
Assistant Attorney General, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.
Before WIDENER, NIEMEYER, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying relief on his habeas
corpus petition, 28 U.S.C. 2254 (1988), as amended by, Act of Apr. 24, 1996,
28 U.S.C.S. 2254 (Law. Co-op. Advance Sheet June 1996). We have
reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal; to the extent
that a certificate of appealability is required, we deny such a certificate. We
dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Johnson v. Huffman,
CA-95-220-R (W.D.Va. Mar. 5, 1996). 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.
DISMISSED.
