PER CURIAM:

     Guy Lancaster Richmond appeals the district court’s order de-

nying relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2000) 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 Richmond v. Correctional Institution

Health Dep’t, No. CA-99-3222-WMN (D. Md. Apr. 13, 2000).   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.




                                                           AFFIRMED
