Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of
Maryland, at Baltimore. Alexander Williams, Jr., District Judge.
(CA-94-1016-AW)


Submitted:   October 23, 1997          Decided:     November 21, 1997


Before HAMILTON and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges, and PHILLIPS, Senior
Circuit Judge.


Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


Jennifer Evans, Ralph Edward Hall, Jr., Rockville, Maryland, for
Appellant. Joyce Fuller, Appellee Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant appeals the district court's order dismissing his

action seeking the recovery of personal property. We have reviewed

the record and the district court's opinion and find no reversible

error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district

court. Hines v. Fuller, No. CA-94-1016-AW (D. Md. May 29, 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
