CLEVELAND SANDERS,
Plaintiff - Appellant,
v.
SC DEPT CORRECTIONS,
Defendant - Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of
South Carolina, at Greenville. Terry L. Wooten, District Judge.
(6:09-cv-01100-TLW-WMC)
Submitted: April 6, 2010 Decided: July 1, 2010
Before NIEMEYER and GREGORY, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON,
Senior Circuit Judge.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Cleveland Sanders, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Cleveland Sanders, III, voluntarily dismissed an
action he filed in the United States District Court for the
District of South Carolina, in which he sought to appeal an
order of the South Carolina Supreme Court. He then noted an
appeal, which the district court transmitted to this court
pursuant to Fed. R. App. P. 3(d)(1). However, the only avenue
for relief from the South Carolina Supreme Court’s decision is
by petition for writ of certiorari filed in the United States
Supreme Court. 28 U.S.C. § 1257 (2006). Neither the district
court nor this court has jurisdiction to review an order of a
state court. Accordingly, although we grant leave to proceed in
forma pauperis, we affirm the dismissal of Sanders’s district
court action. 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
