United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit

This document is a court ruling from the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit that affirms the district court's granting of a directed verdict in favor of the defendant in a 42 U.S.C. § 1983 civil rights action brought by the appellant Elton E. Coleman. The appellate court reviewed the record and transcript from the district court and found no reversible error, so it affirmed the lower court's decision based on the reasoning in Coleman v. Harrison, No. CA-93-2571-6-20AK (D.S.C. July 17, 1996). The appellate court dispensed with oral arguments as it determined the relevant facts and legal issues were adequately presented in the case materials.

Elton E. Coleman, Appellant Pro Se. Henry Ronald Stanley, Columbia,


South Carolina, for Appellee.
D.S.C.
AFFIRMED.
Before NIEMEYER, HAMILTON, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:

Appellant appeals from the district court's order granting a directed verdict in

favor of the Defendant in this 42 U.S.C. 1983 (1994) action. We have


reviewed the record and the transcript of the district court's decision and find no
reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.
Coleman v. Harrison, No. CA-93-2571-6-20AK (D.S.C. July 17, 1996). We
dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are
adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not
aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED.
