PER CURIAM:

          Warren Chase appeals a district court order granting the

Defendants’ motion for summary judgment and dismissing his amended

42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint.   We have reviewed the record and

the district court opinion and find no error.       Accordingly, we

affirm on the reasoning of the district court.    See Chase v. Peay,

286 F. Supp. 2d 523 (D. Md. 2003).    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
