Russell Edward Williams, Plaintiff-appellant, v. Officer Massey, Officer Woodale, Officer Jones, Defendants-appellees, 872 F.2d 420 (4th Cir. 1989)

Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit - 872 F.2d 420 (4th Cir. 1989) Submitted Jan. 31, 1989. Decided March 22, 1989

Russell Edward Williams, appellant pro se.

Gordon Claiborne Woodruff, Harron, O'Hale, Whittington & Woodruff, Pa, William Ross Britt, for appellees.

Before WIDENER and SPROUSE, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge.

PER CURIAM:


Russell Edward Williams appeals from the district court order, entered pursuant to a jury verdict, denying him relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Our review of the record discloses that this appeal is without merit. Williams has failed to show that the jury's verdict was not supported by substantial evidence or that he was prejudiced by any of the trial errors he alleges. Accordingly, we affirm the order of the district court. We deny Williams' request for appointment of counsel and dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the Court.

AFFIRMED.
