PER CURIAM:

     Leamon L. Tatum appeals the district court's order denying

relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) 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. Tatum v. Division of Correction , No. CA-96-1009-S (D. Md.
Aug. 8, 1996). We deny Appellant's motions to appoint counsel and

for production of documents. We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-
terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
