PER CURIAM.

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.

Appeal dismissed.
