PER CURIAM:

     Nicholas Warner Jones appeals the district court order denying

relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1999) complaint and

denying his request for leave to amend his complaint, and a subse-

quent order denying his motion for reconsideration.    We have re-

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

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

district court.   See Jones v. Tanner, No. CA-99-688-L (D. Md. Feb.

8 & Mar. 7, 2000).    We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-

rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.
