4th Cir.

Bady v. Kearny

June 2, 2026 ·25-7011 ·Per Curiam · By Aisha Johnson

The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit affirmed the dismissal of a civil rights complaint filed by an inmate. The court found no reversible error in the district court's order dismissing the amended complaint under the prisoner litigation statute.

Background

Brian Bady, a North Carolina inmate proceeding pro se, appealed the district court’s order dismissing his amended complaint filed under Section nineteen eighty-three of Title forty-two of the United States Code. The dismissal was based on the provisions of Section one thousand nine hundred fifteen, subsection five, paragraph two, letter B of Title twenty-eight of the United States Code.

The court’s reasoning

The court reviewed the record and found no reversible error in the district court’s order. The court determined that the facts and legal contentions were adequately presented in the materials before the court, making oral argument unnecessary for the decisional process.

What it means going forward

The dismissal of the inmate’s civil rights claim stands, and the case is closed without further proceedings in the appellate court.
