PER CURIAM:

     Wendell M. Beard appeals the district court’s order granting

summary judgment and denying relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West

Supp. 2000) complaint.   We have reviewed the record and the dis-

trict’s opinion and find no reversible error.      Accordingly, we

affirm on the reasoning of the district court.   Beard v. Corcoran,

No. CA-00-753-JFM (D. Md. Nov. 27, 2000).    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
