PER CURIAM:
Advertisement
A review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that an appeal from its order refusing habeas corpus relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 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. Muhammad v. Maryland, C/A No. 86-1440-Y (D.Md., Sept. 11, 1986).
DISMISSED.
