David Wayne Hall, Sr., Appellant Pro Se. Kaye A. Allison, OFFICE
OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant appeals from the district court's order dismissing

this civil action filed under the Freedom of Information Act.* 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. Hall v. O'Brien, No. CA-95-3285-WMN (D. Md. Apr.
16, 1996). We deny Appellant's motion for counsel and dispense with

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-

ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would
not aid the decisional process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
