Robert H. Campbell v. James Aiken, Attorney General of The State of South Carolina, Respondents, 833 F.2d 1004, 4th Cir. (1987)

This document is an unpublished court case from 1987 in which the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals modifies a district court's dismissal of a pro se inmate's habeas corpus petition. The district court had dismissed the petition for failure to exhaust state court remedies, but did not specify that the dismissal was without prejudice. The Court of Appeals agrees with the dismissal for nonexhaustion, but modifies the order to clarify that the dismissal is without prejudice so the inmate can refile after exhausting state remedies. A certificate of probable cause to appeal is granted.

Robert H. CAMPBELL, Petitioner-Appellant,
v.
James AIKEN, Attorney General of the State of South
Carolina, Respondents- Appellees.
No. 87-7249.

United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.


Submitted: Sept. 30, 1987.
Decided: Nov. 13, 1987.

Robert H. Campbell, appellant pro se.


Sally M. Rentiers, Assistant Solicitor, for appellees.
Before MURNAGHAN and WILKINSON, Circuit Judges, and
BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:

Robert Campbell, a South Carolina inmate, seeks to appeal from the district
court's order dismissing his pro se application for habeas corpus relief. The
district court determined that Campbell had not exhausted his state court
remedies and dismissed the petition on that basis. The district court order does
not reflect that the dismissal was without prejudice.

We agree with the district court that Campbell has not exhausted his state court
remedies. However, the dismissal should be without prejudice. Therefore,
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2106 we modify the district court's order to reflect
that the dismissal is without prejudice and affirm the judgment as modified. A

certificate of probable cause to appeal is granted. We dispense with oral


argument because the dispositive issues recently have been decided
authoritatively.
