PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals from the district court's orders denying

relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988) complaint and denying his

motion for reconsideration. We have reviewed the record and the

district court's opinions and find no abuse of discretion and no

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the
district court. Hamilton v. Smith, No. CA-95-1076-AMD (D. Md. Oct.
6 & 23, 1995). 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.
