Scearce v. Wallace

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit October 17, 2007

Scearce v. Wallace, 251 F. App'x 177 (4th Cir. 2007)

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

Ralph A. Sceai’ce appeals the district court’s order dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b) (2000). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Scearce v. Wallace, No. 1:06-cv-1411-CMH (E.D. Va. filed Apr. 19, 2007 & entered Apr. 20, 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.

We note, however, that to the extent Scearce appeals the denial of injunctive relief, his appeal is rendered moot by his release from custody. See Williams v. Griffin, 952 F.2d 820 (4th Cir. 1991).
