Towson, Maryland, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant appeals a magistrate judge's order granting Defen-

dant's motion for judgment as a matter of law. We have reviewed the

record and the magistrate judge's order and find no reversible

error. Accordingly, we affirm the magistrate judge's order. McGill
v. American City Mgmt., No. CA-95-4018-Y (D. Md. Jan. 8, 1997).

Appellant's motion for production of a transcript at government

expense is denied. 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.




                                                          AFFIRMED
