Pearson v. Simms

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 03-7015 DEMETRIC GRAY PEARSON, Plaintiff - Appellant, versus STUART O. SIMMS, Secretary, D.P.S.C.S.; JOSEPH P. SACCHET, Warden, Defendants - Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Greenbelt. Peter J. Messitte, District Judge. (CA- 03-3-8-PJM) Submitted: September 11, 2003 Decided: September 24, 2003 Before WIDENER, LUTTIG, and TRAXLER, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Demetric Gray Pearson, Appellant Pro Se. John Joseph Curran, Jr., Attorney General, David Phelps Kennedy, OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF MARYLAND, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellees. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM: Demetric Gray Pearson appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for appointment of counsel and denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint. He renewed his motion for appointment of counsel in this court. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny Pearson’s motion for appointment of counsel and affirm substantially on the reasoning of the district court. See Pearson v. Simms, No. CA-03- 3-8-PJM (D. Md. filed June 23, 2003 & entered June 24, 2003). 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
