Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit - 862 F.2d 313 (4th Cir. 1988) Submitted Aug. 26, 1988. Decided Nov. 1, 1988

Rusty Allen Bennett, appellant pro se.

George Joseph Cosenza, Cosenza & Underwood, John D. Hoffman, for appellees.

Before K.K. HALL, MURNAGHAN, and WILKINS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:


Rusty Allen Bennett appeals from the district court's order denying relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Our review of the record and the district court's opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Bennett v. Westfall, C/A No. A:88-0110 (S.D.W. Va. May 31, 1988). 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.
