PER CURIAM:

     Malcolm Maxwell Ryidu appeals the district court’s order

denying   relief   on   his   42   U.S.C.A.   §    1983   (West   Supp.   2002)

complaint.    We have reviewed the record and the district court’s

opinion and find no reversible error.             Accordingly, we affirm on

the reasoning of the district court.          Ryidu v. Lancaster, No. CA-

01-2950-H (D. Md. Apr. 9, 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
