Karl Thomas Belfield, A/K/A Karl X. Belfield v. Clarence L. Jackson, Jr. Lewis W. Hurst John A. Brown Gail Y. Browne Jacqueline F. Fraser Edward Murray, Director of Department of Corrections
Citations: 25 F.3d 1038; 1994 U.S. App. LEXIS 20785; 1994 WL 202499Docket: 94-6258
Court: Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit; May 24, 1994; Federal Appellate Court
Karl Thomas Belfield, also known as Karl X. Belfield, appealed the denial of relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint by the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia. The appeal was submitted to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals on April 21, 1994, and decided on May 24, 1994. The panel, consisting of Chief Judge Ervin, Circuit Judge Michael, and Senior Circuit Judge Chapman, reviewed the case and found the appeal to be without merit. They affirmed the district court's decision, which had dismissed Belfield's claims, citing the reasoning provided in the district court's opinion dated February 16, 1994. The court concluded that oral argument was unnecessary as the issues were adequately presented in the existing materials.
