Lawrence Verline Wilder, Sr., Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Lawrence Verline Wilder, Sr., appeals the district court’s

order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1999)

complaint.    We have reviewed the record and the district court’s

opinion and find no reversible error.     Accordingly, we affirm on

the reasoning of the district court.    See Wilder v. Baltimore City

Police Dep’t, No. CA-99-3601-S (D. Md. Dec. 7, 1999).   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
