Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Fausto Cepeda appeals the district court’s order denying re-

lief in his action under Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Fed.

Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971).     Cepeda has failed to

adequately present any issues for appeal.   Accordingly, we affirm.

See 4th Cir. Local R. 34(b).   We dispense with oral argument be-

cause the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in

the materials before the court and argument would not aid the

decisional process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
