PER CURIAM:
     Appellant appeals the district court's order granting Defen-

dants' motion to dismiss his civil action in which he sought

damages for alleged constitutional violations in the course of

workers' compensation proceedings. We have reviewed the record and

the district court's opinion and find no reversible error. Accord-

ingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Papesh v.
Brookshire, No. CA-95-1984-WMN (D. Md. Sept. 3, 1996). 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.
