    This document is a summary of a court case from the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. Felix Newby filed a civil rights lawsuit under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against several prison officials and medical providers alleging deliberate indifference to his medical needs. The district court dismissed Newby's complaint. The appellate court affirmed the district court's ruling, finding that even if one defendant's actions amounted to deliberate indifference, Newby failed to show that her actions resulted in an injury serious enough to warrant relief. The appellate court thus upheld the dismissal of Newby's complaint.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern
    District of Virginia, at Alexandria. Leonie M. Brinkema, District
    Judge. (CA-01-1432-1)

    Submitted:

    September 23, 2002

    Decided:

    Before LUTTIG, WILLIAMS, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges.

    October 8, 2002

    Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

    Felix A. Newby, Appellant Pro Se.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Felix A. Newby appeals the district courts order dismissing
    his 42 U.S.C. 1983 (2000) complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1915A
    (2000).

    We have reviewed the record and the district courts

    opinion and find no reversible error. Even if Defendant Jane Does


    actions amounted to deliberate indifference, Newby has failed to
    show

    that

    her

    actions

    resulted

    in

    an

    injury

    of

    sufficient

    seriousness to warrant relief. See Farmer v. Brennan, 511 U.S. 825,


    834 (1994).

    Accordingly, we affirm substantially on the reasoning

    of the district court.

    See Newby v. Fasting, No. CA-01-1432-1

    (E.D. Va. filed Mar. 27, 2002; entered Mar. 28, 2002).

    We dispense

    with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are
    adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument
    would not aid the decisional process.

    AFFIRMED
