PER CURIAM:

     Steven Paul Fleming appeals the district court’s order dis-

missing his civil action for a lack of jurisdiction.   See 28 U.S.C.

§§ 1331, 1332 (1994).   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 Fleming v. Holy

Cross Hospital, No. CA-98-3933-MJG (D. Md. Apr. 8, 1999).    We dis-

pense 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.
