Wilbert Thomas v. City of Huntington, West Virginia, Municipal Corporation
Citations: 21 F.3d 424; 1994 U.S. App. LEXIS 15844; 1994 WL 83797Docket: 93-7330
Court: Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit; March 13, 1994; Federal Appellate Court
Wilbert Thomas, representing himself, appealed a decision from the United States District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia that denied his claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against the City of Huntington. The appeal was reviewed by the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, which included Judges Russell, Murnaghan, and Williams. The court found no merit in Thomas's appeal and affirmed the district court's ruling, which had accepted the magistrate judge's recommendation. The court cited that the reasoning of the district court was sufficient and chose not to hold oral arguments, as the existing materials adequately addressed the facts and legal issues. The decision was made on March 14, 1994, and the case number is CA-93-764-3.
