PER CURIAM:

              Derek    L.   Simms   appeals     the   district    court’s    order

dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint under 28 U.S.C.

§ 1915A(b) (2000).            We have reviewed the record and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by

the district court.         See Simms v. Gibbs, No. 1:06-cv-03360-WMN (D.

Md. July 9, 2007).          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
