Frankie L. McCoy, Sr., Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant, a Maryland inmate, appeals the district court's

order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint under

28 U.S.C.A. § 1915A (West Supp. 1998). We have reviewed the record

and the district court's opinion and find that this appeal is friv-

olous. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the
district court. McCoy v. Diggs, No. CA-97-3621-L (D. Md. Nov. 7,
1997). 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.




                                                         DISMISSED
