Williams v. Mackling
Citation: 260 F. App'x 559Docket: No. 07-7143
Court: Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit; December 26, 2007; Federal Appellate Court
John Ruffin Williams appeals the dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint by the district court, which was ruled under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1) for failure to state a claim. The appellate court reviewed the record and found no reversible error, affirming the district court's decision as outlined in Williams v. Mackling, No. 2:07-cv-147 (E.D. Va. Jul 2, 2007). Additionally, the court denied Williams' motion for judgment, which sought to reargue the merits of his claims. The court determined that oral argument was unnecessary as the facts and legal issues were sufficiently presented in the existing materials. The decision is affirmed.
