PER CURIAM:

               John Laird appeals the district court’s orders denying

relief    on    his     civil   complaint     and   denying    his    motion     for

reconsideration. We find that Laird’s complaint was untimely filed

for the reasons stated by the district court.                   Accordingly, we

affirm.     See Laird v. Snow, No. CA-03-2717-RWT (D. Md. Mar. 17,

2004 & Apr. 15, 2004).          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
