PER CURIAM:

     Donald Sylvester Gross appeals an order of the district court

granting summary judgment in favor of some defendants and dismiss-

ing the complaint with regard to the remaining defendants in Gross'

42 U.S.C. § 1983 suit alleging deliberate indifference to his

serious medical needs. We have considered the record and informal

briefs of the parties, and we affirm the judgment for the reasons
stated by the district court in its memorandum opinion.   Gross v.

Lanham, No. 95-684-S (D. Md. Oct. 2, 1995).   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.
