Eugenio Duquesne v. Mike Easley, Attorney General, North Carolina E. Lynn Johnston North Carolina Department of Justice
Docket: 95-6245
Court: Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit; June 23, 1995; Federal Appellate Court
Eugenio Duquesne appealed the district court's denial of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint against Mike Easley, the North Carolina Attorney General, E. Lynn Johnston, and the North Carolina Department of Justice. The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals reviewed the case, including the district court's opinion, and found no reversible error. The court affirmed the lower court's decision based on its reasoning in the case Duquesne v. Easley, No. CA-94-1002-5-BR (E.D.N.C. Feb. 1, 1995). The panel, comprising Circuit Judges Niemeyer and Williams, along with Senior Circuit Judge Butzner, concluded that oral argument was unnecessary as the facts and legal issues were sufficiently clear in the case materials. Additionally, the request for the appointment of counsel was denied.
