U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, 2002

Akbar v. Director of North Carolina Prisons

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit · Decided November 13, 2002 · Widener, Wilkins, Gregory

50 F. App'x 151

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Karim Abdul Akbar appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. * Akbar v. Director of North Carolina Prisons, No. CA-98-361-5-F (E.D.N.C. filed Mar. 27, 2002; entered Mar. 28, 2002). 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.

We decline to address Akbar's ciaun under the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act of 2000, Pub.L. No. 106-274, 114 Stat. 803, because this claim was not properly presented to the district court and Akbar has not averred, much less demonstrated, that plain error or a miscarriage of justice will result from the failure to review it. See Muth v. United States, 1 F.3d 246, 250 (4th Cir. 1993).
