Louis Covington, Plaintiff-appellant, v. State of South Carolina; Richland County Sheriff'sdepartment; Connie Lewis, Defendants-appellees, 850 F.2d 688 (4th Cir. 1988)

Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit - 850 F.2d 688 (4th Cir. 1988) Submitted: April 8, 1988. Decided: June 21, 1988

Louis Covington, appellant pro se.

Edwin Eugene Evans, Senior Assistant Attorney General; Charles Dennis Aughtry; Barbara Howe McArthur, Nelson, Mullins, Riley & Scarborough, for appellees.

Before JAMES DICKSON PHILLIPS and WILKINSON, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge.

PER CURIAM:


A review of the record and the district court's opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate discloses that this appeal from its order refusing relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 is without merit. Because the dispositive issues recently have been decided authoritatively, we dispense with oral argument and affirm the judgment below on the reasoning of the district court. Covington v. State of South Carolina, C/A No. 86-932 (D.S.C. Jan. 19, 1988).

AFFIRMED.
