Ellis Harley Barber, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Ellis Harley Barber appeals the district court’s order dis-

missing his civil action for failure to state a claim on which re-

lief may be granted.   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.   See Barber V. Amer-

ican Psychiatric Ass’n, No. CA-00-444-L (D. Md. Feb. 18, 2000). 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
