PER CURIAM:

     Toy Burtron Madden, a federal inmate, appeals the district

court’s order denying relief on his civil complaint under 28

U.S.C.A. § 1915(e) (West Supp. 1998). We have reviewed the record

and the district court’s opinion and find that this appeal is friv-

olous. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the

district court. Madden v. Blake, No. CA-97-3313-AMD (D. Md. Oct.

14, 1997). We deny Madden’s several motions for clarification or

reconsideration.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
