PER CURIAM:

     John W. Milton appeals from the district court’s order dis-

missing his complaint in which he sought to exempt his civil ser-

vice retirement payments from a restitution claim arising out of a

criminal conviction.   We have reviewed the record and the district

court’s opinion and find no reversible error.   Accordingly, we af-

firm on the reasoning of the district court.    See Milton v. Office

of Personnel Management, No. CA-98-4098-PJM (D. Md. Aug. 23, 1999).

We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-

tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court

and argument would not aid the decisional process.




                                                           AFFIRMED
