Marcel Romains Wallace v. Renetta Butts; Wanda Bazemore
June 23, 2026·25-6863·Per Curiam·By Aisha Johnson
The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit affirmed a district court order denying relief in a civil rights complaint. The court found no reversible error in the lower court's handling of the case.
Marcel Romains Wallace appealed a district court order that denied relief on his complaint filed under Section one thousand nine hundred eighty-three of Title forty-two of the United States Code. The appeal originated from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina.
The court’s reasoning
The court reviewed the record and found no reversible error. The panel determined that the facts and legal contentions were adequately presented in the materials before the court, meaning oral argument would not aid the decisional process.
What it means going forward
The district court’s order denying relief remains in effect, and the appellant’s request for oral argument is denied.
