Ronald Avon Johnson v. Ronald E. Moats, Warden Attorney General of the State of Maryland
Citations: 72 F.3d 127; 1995 U.S. App. LEXIS 39580; 1995 WL 736928Docket: 95-7166
Court: Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit; December 11, 1995; Federal Appellate Court
Ronald Avon Johnson appealed a decision from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, which denied his petition for relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. The appeal was submitted on November 16, 1995, and decided on December 12, 1995. The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals reviewed the case, including the district court's acceptance of the magistrate judge's recommendation, and found no reversible error. Consequently, the appellate court affirmed the district court's decision without further oral argument, citing the adequacy of the submitted materials. Johnson's request for court-appointed counsel was also denied. The ruling was finalized under the case reference Johnson v. Moats, No. CA-95-527-HAR (D.Md. July 11, 1995).
