PER CURIAM:

     Charles E. Brooks appeals from the district court’s order

dismissing his civil action pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6).

Brooks contends that the district court erred in finding defendant

Lloyd Albert Johnson, a Maryland Assistant State’s Attorney, was

entitled to qualified immunity.   Our review of the record and the

district court’s opinion show the district court correctly found

Johnson was entitled to qualified immunity. Accordingly, we affirm

the district court’s dismissal of Brooks’ civil action.




                                                          AFFIRMED
