Byron J. Stevens, Iii, Plaintiff-appellant, v. Aaron J. Johnson; Samuel A. Wilson, Iii, Defendants-appellees, 849 F.2d 606 (4th Cir. 1988)

Byron J. Stevens, III, appeals from the district court's order denying relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and imposing a $200 sanction pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 11. We agree with the district court that Stevens' complaint was frivolous and therefore discern no abuse of discretion in the district court's imposition of the Rule 11 sanction. See Stevens v. Lawyers Mutual Liability Ins. Co., 789 F.2d 1056, 1060 (4th Cir. 1986).

We dispense with oral argument because the dispositive issues recently have been decided authoritatively.

AFFIRMED.
