Ian Aulden Campbell v. Donald W. Stephens

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit
Ian Aulden Campbell v. Donald W. Stephens, 704 F. App'x 289 (4th Cir. 2017)

Ian Aulden Campbell v. Donald W. Stephens

Opinion

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Ian Aulden Campbell appeals the district court’s order dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) complaint in which he alleged that the state court judge who denied his post-conviction motion for appropriate relief violated his rights to due process because the judge lacked the appearance of impartiality. Campbell’s claims are without merit. See Tumey v. Ohio, 273 U.S. 510, 523, 47 S.Ct. 437, 71 L.Ed. 749 (1927) (discussing lack of appearance of impartiality of deciding judge as violation of defendant’s rights to due process). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. 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
