Kirk-Bey v. Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department
Opinion
Affirmed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
Kareem Abdullah Kirk-Bey appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) complaint. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm substantially for the reasons stated by the district court. * Kirk-Bey v. Charlotte *318 Mecklenburg Police Dep’t, No. 3:13-cv-00330-RJC (W.D.N.C. July 29, 2013). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED.
To the extent that Kirk-Bey's claim of false arrest does not necessarily implicate the validity of his conviction, see Brooks v. City of Winston-Salem, 85 F.3d 178, 181 (4th Cir. 1996), his claim is, nevertheless, without merit. As noted by the district court, Kirk-Bey has previously raised this claim against the police department in Kirk-Bey v. Murray, No. 3:12-cv-00106 W.D.N.C. Feb. 28, denied relief and Kirk-Bey did not raise the claim in a *318 new action is judicata. Ohio Valley Envtl. Coal v. Aracoma Coal Co., 556 F.3d 177, 210 (4th Cir. 2009).
