PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's order denying Appel-

lant's motion to dismiss, summarily denying Appellant's motion for
summary judgment, and dismissing Appellant's complaint for lack of

subject matter jurisdiction. 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. Wilder v.
Sturdivant, No. CA-97-2354-S (D. Md. Sept. 3, 1997). 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.
