                   UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
                       FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT


                            No. 02-1296



SECRETARY OF CONGRESS,

                                              Plaintiff - Appellant,

          versus


STATE OF MARYLAND,

                                               Defendant - Appellee.



Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of
Maryland, at Baltimore. Frederic N. Smalkin, Chief District Judge.
(CA-02-698-MJG)


Submitted:   May 16, 2002                     Decided:   May 22, 2002


Before NIEMEYER, MICHAEL, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges.


Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


Secretary of Congress, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     The Appellant, who refers to himself as the Secretary of

Congress of the United States, appeals the district court’s order

dismissing his civil action against the State of Maryland as

legally frivolous.   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.    See Secretary of

Congress v. Maryland, No. CA-02-698-MJG (D. Md. Mar. 5, 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
