PER CURIAM:

     In these consolidated appeals, Appellant appeals from the dis-

trict court's orders denying his motion to amend his civil com-

plaint, granting Defendants' motions for summary judgment, denying

his motion for reconsideration, and denying as frivolous his motion

to proceed in forma pauperis. We have reviewed the record and the
district court's opinions and orders and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.

Ferguson v. Frank A. Serio & Sons, Inc., No. CA-96-3496-S (D. Md.
Apr. 10; May 8; June 2 & June 10, 1997). Appellant's motions to

compel discovery and to proceed in forma pauperis are 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
