The case has been referred to a panel of the court pursuant to Rule 9(a), Rules of the Sixth Circuit. Upon examination, this panel unanimously agrees that oral argument is not needed. Fed. R. App. P. 34(a). Darulis says he complained to defendant DiCaudo, an Akron city prosecutor, that defendant Venable and two other individuals attacked and seriously injured him.
