Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Ernest Paul Francis appeals from the district court’s orders

denying his motion for attorneys’ fees and denying his motion to

alter or amend judgment, Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e).   We have reviewed

the record and the district court’s opinions and find no reversible

error.   Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district

court.   See Jackson-Spells v. Francis, No. CA-99-330-AMD (D. Md.

May 12, 1999 & June 7, 1999).   We dispense with oral argument be-

cause the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in

the materials before the court and argument would not aid the

decisional process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
