PER CURIAM:

           Geraldine J. Williams appeals the district court’s order

granting defendant’s motion to dismiss.            We have reviewed the

record and find no reversible error.           Accordingly, we affirm for

the   reasons   stated   by   the   district   court.   See   Williams   v.

Thompson, No. CA-03-2084-8-AW (D. Md. June 14, 2004).         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
