UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee,
v.
Phillip Earnest WATKINS, Defendant-Appellant.
No. 87-7280.
United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
Submitted: Dec. 28, 1987.
Decided: Feb. 8, 1988.
Phillip Earnest Watkins, appellant pro se.
John Douglas McCullough, Office of the United States Attorney, for appellee.
Before JAMES DICKSON PHILLIPS, MRNAGHAN and CHAPMAN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
A review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal from its order denying relief under 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2255 is without merit. Because the dispositive issues recently have been decided authoritatively, we dispense with oral argument and affirm the judgment below on the reasoning of the district court. United States v. Watkins, CR No. 86-28-08; C/A No. 87-65-4 (E.D.N.C. July 16, 1987).
AFFIRMED.
