PER CURIAM:

     Guy Richmond appeals the district court’s order denying relief

on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2002) 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.     Richmond v. Maryland, No. CA-01-3683-WMN (D. Md.

Feb. 28, 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
