Narrative Opinion Summary
Bruce Allen Gaynor, the plaintiff-appellant, pursued an appeal against multiple defendants, including David R. Lawson (Warden) and others, following the district court's denial of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint. The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit reviewed the record and the district court's findings, concluding that there was no reversible error in the lower court's decision. Consequently, the appellate court affirmed the district court's ruling based on its reasoning. The court decided not to hold oral arguments, stating that the facts and legal issues were sufficiently clear from the submitted materials. Additionally, Gaynor's request for appointment of counsel was denied.
