Juan Jose Dupree, Appellant Pro Se.     John Joseph Curran, Jr.,
Attorney General, Stephanie Judith Lane Weber, OFFICE OF THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL OF MARYLAND, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellees.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

          Juan Jose Dupree appeals the district court’s order

denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint.   We have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error.   Accordingly, we

affirm substantially on the reasoning of the district court.   See

Dupree v. Brown, No. CA-02-3515-RDB (D. Md. June 30, 2003).     We

conclude that Dupree’s claim that prison conditions violate the

Eighth Amendment is meritless.    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
