Benson v. Pleasants

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit June 20, 2007

Benson v. Pleasants, 230 F. App'x 298 (4th Cir. 2007)

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

Bryan O’Neal Benson appeals the district court’s order granting in part and denying in part Defendants’ motion for summary judgment and dismissing Benson’s claims against the Defendants in their official capacities in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) action. * We have reviewed *299 the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See Benson v. Pleasants, No. 5:06-cv-00058-F (E.D.N.C. Jan. 4, 2007). 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.

Although this appeal was interlocutory at the time Benson filed the notice of appeal, we possess jurisdiction to consider the merits because the district court has subsequently entered final judgment disposing of the remaining claims. See In re Bryson, 406 F.3d 284 (4th Cir. 2005).
