Tony Mack Farmer v. Parker Evatt Charles Tollison, M. D. Hugh Riddle George N. Martin
Citations: 37 F.3d 1493; 1994 U.S. App. LEXIS 34816Docket: 94-6157
Court: Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit; October 12, 1994; Federal Appellate Court
Tony Mack Farmer, the plaintiff appellant, filed an appeal against defendants Parker Evatt, Charles Tollison, M.D., Hugh Riddle, and George N. Martin following the denial of relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint by the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina. The case, submitted on May 17, 1994, was decided on October 12, 1994, with the Fourth Circuit Court affirming the district court's decision. The court determined that the appeal was without merit, agreeing with the reasoning provided by the district court in its acceptance of the magistrate judge's recommendation. The appellate court opted not to hold oral arguments, concluding that the existing record and legal arguments were sufficient for their decision. The appeal was thus affirmed, referencing the district court's prior ruling in Farmer v. Evatt, No. CA-92-284-1AK (D.S.C. Jan. 5, 1994).
