John Anthony Turner, the petitioner-appellant, filed an appeal against Ronald Moats, Warden, and the Attorney General of the State of Maryland, the respondents-appellees, following the district court's denial of his petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit reviewed the case, including the district court’s opinion, and found no reversible error. The court affirmed the district court's decision, citing its reasoning in the case Turner v. Moats, No. CA-94-2565-S (D. Md. Jan. 11, 1995). The court also decided to dispense with oral argument, stating that the existing materials adequately presented the facts and legal issues. The final ruling was an affirmation of the lower court's decision.
