PER CURIAM:

     James A. Butler appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on his complaint filed pursuant to Bivens v. Six Unknown

Named Agents of the Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971).    We

have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly,

we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.     See Butler v.

Johnson, No. CA-01-2345-WMN (D. Md. June 10, 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
