                   UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
                       FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT


                              No. 02-2434



GROVER DRUMMOND,

                                            Plaintiff - Appellant,

          versus


THE STATE OF MARYLAND,

                                               Defendant - Appellee.



Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of
Maryland, at Baltimore. Frederic N. Smalkin, District Judge. (CA-
02-3686-S)


Submitted:   April 24, 2003                    Decided:   May 1, 2003


Before NIEMEYER, GREGORY, and SHEDD, Circuit Judges.


Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


Grover Drummond, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Grover Drummond appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint under 28 U.S.C.

§ 1915(e)(2)(B) (2000).   We have reviewed the record and find that

this appeal is frivolous. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal on the

reasoning of the district court. See Drummond v. Maryland, No. CA-

02-3686-S (D. Md. Nov. 18, 2002).    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.




                                                          DISMISSED
