White v. Francis
Citation: 378 F. App'x 371Docket: No. 09-6318
Court: Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit; May 17, 2010; Federal Appellate Court
Walter Duane White's appeal of the district court's order, which accepted the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denied his Bivens complaint, has been affirmed. The appellate court found no reversible error after reviewing the record. White's requests to appoint counsel and to add a defendant were denied. The decision is based on the reasoning provided by the district court in White v. Francis, No. 2:07-cv-00015-REM-JES, 2009 WL 302310 (N.D.W.Va. Feb. 5, 2009). The court determined that oral argument was unnecessary as the facts and legal issues were sufficiently presented in the submitted materials. The affirmation is stated as a per curiam opinion, and it is noted that unpublished opinions do not serve as binding precedent in this circuit.
