U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, 2006

Sutton v. Farford

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit · Decided August 28, 2006 · King, Shedd, Duncan

196 F. App'x 155

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

George Randolph Sutton, Jr. appeals the district court’s order denying his motions to amend his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint, for an answer to his amended complaint, and to compel an answer following the district court’s dismissal of his initial complaint as frivolous. * We have reviewed the record and find no abuse of discretion or reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See Sutton v. Farford, No. CA-04-900-5 (E.D.N.C. filed July 18, 2006; entered July 22, 2006). 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.

To the extent Sutton seeks to appeal the district court’s prior order dismissing his complaint as frivolous, we are without jurisdiction to consider his arguments because his notice of appeal was untimely as to that order.
