Henry W. Borgen, Appellant Pro Se. Jamie M. Bennett, Assistant
United States Attorney, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Henry W. Borgen appeals the district court’s order granting

the motion of the Commissioner of Social Security to dismiss

Borgen’s complaint for failure to exhaust administrative remedies.

We have reviewed the record and the district court’s order and find

no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the

district court.   See Borgen v. Barnhart, No. CA-01-1754-AW (D. Md.

filed May, 3, 2002; entered May 6, 2002).    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
