See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Francis    Akinro,    a    Maryland     inmate,     appeals   the   district

court’s order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp.

2001) complaint under 28 U.S.C.A. § 1915A (West Supp. 2000).                    We

have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find

that this appeal is frivolous. Accordingly, we affirm based on the

reasoning of the district court.             See Akinro v. Maher, No. CA-02-

555-CCB (D. Md. Mar. 4, 2002).         We deny Akinro’s motion for default

judgment.     We also deny Akinro’s motion for 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.
