*1488

WIDENER, Circuit Judge:

Richard Lee Whitley, under sentence of death for the murder of Phoebe Parsons on July 25,1980, appeals from the dismissal of his petition for a writ of habeas corpus by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. We find no merit in Whitley’s contentions, and we affirm.
