T. D. Kauffelt, Asst. Atty. Gen.  (John G. Fox, Atty. Gen., of West Virginia, on brief), for appellee.
Before PARKER, Chief Judge, and SOPER and DOBIE, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.


1
This is an appeal from an order dismissing a petition for a writ of habeas corpus by a prisoner serving a sentence under the judgment of a West Virginia state court.  See Farmer v. Skeen, D.C., 125 F.Supp. 549; Ex parte Farmer, 123 W.Va. 304, 14 S.E.2d 910; United States ex rel. Farmer v. Skeen, D.C.,  107 F.Supp. 877; Id., 4 Cir., 203 F.2d 950.  We have no jurisdiction of the appeal for failure of the appellant to secure the certificate of probable cause required by 28 U.S.C. § 2253.  An examination of the record before us shows that that appellant is not entitled to such certificate and that the appeal is without merit.


2
Appeal dismissed.
