Martin v. Goodman

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit February 28, 2001

Martin v. Goodman, 5 F. App'x 123 (4th Cir. 2001)

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Timothy J. Martin, Sr., appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2000) complaint. We have reviewed the record and *124 the district court’s opinion and orders and find no reversible error. * Accordingly, we deny Martin’s motion for appointment of counsel and affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Martin v. Goodman, No. CA-99-3159-AW (D.Md. Aug. 24, 2000). 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.

The district court entered its order granting summaiy judgment for Defendants prior to the expiration of the time Martin was given to file a reply to the Defendants' supplement to the motion. However, because Martin subsequently filed his response and the district court thoroughly reviewed it, any error was harmless. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 61.
