Ricky Kennedy v. Office Rome Captain Newkirk Sgt. Moore
Docket: 90-7406
Court: Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit; January 26, 1994; Federal Appellate Court
Ricky Kennedy filed an appeal against the Office of Rome, Captain Newkirk, and Sgt. Moore, following the denial of relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 by the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina. The appeal was reviewed by the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, which found no merit in Kennedy's claims. The court affirmed the district court's decision based on the reasoning provided in the case of Kennedy v. Rome, CA-90-316 (M.D.N.C. Oct. 25, 1990). The panel, consisting of Circuit Judges Widener and Phillips and Senior Circuit Judge Chapman, determined that oral argument was unnecessary as the relevant facts and legal issues were sufficiently presented in the existing materials. The final decision was to affirm the lower court's ruling.
