Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Demetric Gray Pearson appeals the district court’s order

denying his motion for appointment of counsel and denying relief on

his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint.       He renewed his motion for

appointment of counsel in this court.      We have reviewed the record

and find no reversible error.          Accordingly, we deny Pearson’s

motion for appointment of counsel and affirm substantially on the

reasoning of the district court.       See Pearson v. Simms, No. CA-03-

3-8-PJM (D. Md. filed June 23, 2003 & entered June 24, 2003).       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
