Narrative Opinion Summary
Franklin E. Robson, representing himself, appealed a district court's summary judgment in favor of the Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC), which acted as conservator for Citadel Federal Savings and Loan Association. The case centered on allegations of breach of contract. The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals reviewed the case and found no reversible error in the district court's ruling. Consequently, the appellate court affirmed the lower court's decision, referencing its reasoning in the prior ruling (Robson v. Resolution Trust Corp., D.S.C. Dec. 2, 1994). The court determined that oral argument was unnecessary, as the relevant facts and legal issues had been sufficiently addressed in the submitted materials.
