Gayden v. Baltimore City Police Department

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit March 11, 2004

Gayden v. Baltimore City Police Department, 89 F. App'x 403 (4th Cir. 2004)

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

John Gayden appeals the district court’s orders dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint and denying his motion to reconsider pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 60(b). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm substantially on the reasoning of the district court. * See Gayden v. Baltimore City Police Dep't, No. CA-03-337-1-WDQ (D.Md. July 1, 2003; August 1, 2003). 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

Because we find no basis to overturn the district court’s conclusion that Gayden’s suit was barred by the running of the applicable statute of limitations, we agree with the court that an amendment to the complaint to add individually-named defendants would have been futile.
