Narrative Opinion Summary
Scott Lewis Rendelman, the petitioner-appellant, appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit from the denial of relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 in the District Court for the District of Maryland. The case was submitted on January 20, 1994, and decided on March 2, 1994, with the judges being Widener, Wilkins, and Hamilton. The appellate court found the appeal to lack merit upon reviewing the district court's opinion and the record. Consequently, the court affirmed the district court's decision, citing the reasoning provided in Rendelman v. Hendrick, No. CA-93-2980 (D. Md. Oct. 27, 1993). The court also denied the appellant's Motion to Correct Spelling and determined that oral argument was unnecessary as the facts and legal arguments were sufficiently clear from the submitted materials.
