PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's orders dismissing his

action. We have reviewed the record and the district court's opin-

ions and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny leave to

proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss on the reasoning of the

district court. Sanders v. Maryland, No. CA-97-1691-PJM (D. Md.
June 18 and July 15, 1997). 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.




                                                         DISMISSED
