Patrice Mansell, Appellant Pro Se. Charles Joseph Peters, Sr.,
OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Baltimore, Maryland, for
Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals from the district court's dismissal of his

claim seeking money damages against a federal district court judge

in his official capacity. We have reviewed the record and the dis-

trict court's opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we

affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Mansell v. Smalkin,
No. CA-96-454-H (D. Md. Feb. 27, 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.




                                                          AFFIRMED
