Butler v. Young

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 00-6273 ROBERT E. BUTLER, Plaintiff - Appellant, versus RICHARD YOUNG; WARDEN HARVEY; RANDOLPH PHIL- LIPS, Assistant Warden of Programs; OFFICER KISER; OFFICER JOHNSON; OFFICER BALDWIN, Defendants - Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western Dis- trict of Virginia, at Roanoke. Jackson L. Kiser, Senior District Judge. (CA-00-65-7) Submitted: April 27, 2000 Decided: May 4, 2000 Before NIEMEYER and MOTZ, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Cir- cuit Judge. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Robert E. Butler, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM: Robert E. Butler, a Virginia inmate, appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1999) complaint under 28 U.S.C.A. § 1915A (West Supp. 1999). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find that Butler failed to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. Accordingly, we affirm the dismissal on the reasoning of the district court. See Butler v. Young, No. CA-00-65-7 (W.D. Va. Feb. 2, 2000). 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 2
