Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of

2435-AMD)

Before MOTZ and KING, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit
Judge.


Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

See Local Rule 36(c).




                                 2
PER CURIAM:

     Sylvester Jones appeals the district court’s order dismissing

this action as frivolous.   We have reviewed the record and the dis-

trict court’s opinion and find no reversible error.    Accordingly,

we dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court.   See

Jones v. NAACP, No. CA-99-2435-AMD (D. Md. Nov. 8, 1999).   We deny

leave to proceed in forma pauperis and 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
