PER CURIAM:

     Gary    Alexander         Mullen   appeals   from    the   district       court’s

order granting Defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint as

barred by the doctrine of res judicata.                   We have reviewed the

record and find no reversible error.                 Accordingly, although we

grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we affirm for the

reasons stated by the district court.               Mullen v. U.S. Bank Nat’l

Assoc.,     No.    1:15-cv-02640-JFM       (D.    Md.    Feb.    8,     2016).      We

dispense     with       oral    argument   because       the    facts    and     legal

contentions       are   adequately      presented   in    the   materials        before

this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.



                                                                            AFFIRMED
