PER CURIAM:

     Robert E. Green, Sr. appeals the district court’s order deny-

ing relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2000) complaint.

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

orders and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the

reasoning of the district court but modify the court’s order to

provide that the dismissal of Green’s complaint is without prej-

udice.   See Green v. Mayor and City Council of Baltimore, No. CA-

00-711-MJG (D. Md. Mar. 21 & 29, 2000).     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
