James E. Keegan, Appellant Pro Se. Brian Edward Messaris, TYDINGS
& ROSENBERG, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     James E. Keegan appeals the district court’s order dismissing

his civil complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.     We

have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly,

we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.   See Keegan

v. Kaiser Permanente, No. CA-02-1426-A (E.D. Va. filed Nov. 15,

2002, and entered Nov. 20, 2002).   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
