William Christopher BROWN, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. Arnold HOPKINS, Commissioner of Corrections, Defendant-Appellee. No. 86-6734. United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit. Submitted Oct. 17, 1986. Decided Dec. 9, 1986. Before HALL, WILKINSON and WILKINS, Circuit Judges. William Christopher Brown, appellant pro se. Stephanie J. Lane, Assistant Attorney General, Stephen H. Sachs, Attorney General, for appellee. PER CURIAM: 1 A review of the record and the district court's opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate discloses that this appeal from its order denying relief under 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983 is without merit. Because the dispositive issues recently have been decided authoritatively, we dispense with oral argument and affirm the judgment below on the reasoning of the district court. Brown v. Hopkins, C/A No. 85-2594-Y (D.Md., July 15, 1986). 2 AFFIRMED. --- Source: Frix Law Library, https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/cases/480461. Public record. Not legal advice.
