UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 09-1510
MERLE T. RUTLEDGE, JR.,
Plaintiff – Appellant,
v.
CITY OF NORFOLK, VIRGINIA,
Defendant – Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Virginia, at Norfolk. Mark S. Davis, District
Judge. (2:09-cv-00157-MSD-JEB)
Submitted: October 20, 2009 Decided: October 23, 2009
Before TRAXLER, Chief Judge, NIEMEYER, Circuit Judge, and
HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Merle T. Rutledge, Jr., Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Merle T. Rutledge, Jr., appeals the district court’s
order dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) civil rights
complaint for failing to state a claim upon which relief could
be granted. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues
raised in the Appellant’s Brief, see 4th Cir. R. 34(b), and
Rutledge’s brief alleges no error committed by the district
court. Accordingly, we affirm the order of the district court.
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
