Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit - 904 F.2d 701 (4th Cir. 1990) Submitted: May 7, 1990. Decided: May 25, 1990

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia, at Roanoke. Jackson L. Kiser, District Judge. (C/A No. 89-735-R).

Carl Howard Shipp, Sr., appellant pro se.

W.D. Va.

AFFIRMED.

Before ERVIN, Chief Judge, and CHAPMAN and WILKINS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:


Carl Howard Shipp, Sr., appeals from the district court's order denying relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit.*  Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Shipp v. Jackson, C/A No. 89-735-R (W.D. Va. Sept. 1, 1989). 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

 *

This case was put in abeyance pending this Court's decision of Kaufhold v. Jackson, where this Court rejected a claim regarding denial of parole based solely on "the serious nature and circumstances of [the prisoner's] crimes." Kaufhold v. Jackson, No. 89-7539, slip op. at 2-3 (4th Cir. Apr. 13, 1990) (unpublished)
