    Uploaded by

    Scribd Government Docs
    Norman Bryson appealed the district court's denial of his petition for habeas corpus relief from his state conviction. The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed the appeal, finding that the district court correctly determined Bryson procedurally defaulted on his claims by not properly raising them in his earlier state court appeals. The Fourth Circuit adopted the reasoning of the district court and did not reach whether Bryson also failed to properly object at trial. The Fourth Circuit found the appeal was without merit and denied a certificate of probable cause.

    No. 92-6546.

    United States Court of Appeals,


    Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted: August 17, 1992
    Decided: September 29, 1992

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South
    Carolina, at Columbia. Dennis W. Shedd, District Judge. (CA-91-510-3)
    Norman A. Bryson, Appellant Pro Se.
    Donald John Zelenka, Chief Deputy Attorney General, Columbia, South
    Carolina, for Appellees.
    D.S.C.
    Dismissed.
    Before WILKINS, NIEMEYER, and HAMILTON, Circuit Judges.
    OPINION
    PER CURIAM:

    Norman A. Bryson appeals from the district court's orders refusing habeas
    corpus relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 2254 (1988), and denying his motion to
    alter the judgment. Our review of the record and the district court's opinions
    accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge discloses no abuse of
    discretion and that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we deny a
    certificate of probable cause to appeal and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning
    of the district court* Bryson v. Lindler, No. CA-91-510-3 (D.S.C. Mar. 22 and
    May 8, 1992). 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.
    DISMISSED

    We find the district court was correct in finding a procedural default on appeal,
    but do not reach the question whether Bryson failed to object timely at trial
