PER CURIAM:

     Ellis Harley Barber appeals the district court’s order dis-

missing his civil action.   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.     See Barber v.

United States Tobacco Company, No. CA-99-3477-WMN (D. Md. Nov. 30,

1999).   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.
