PER CURIAM:

     Tony Matthews and John Howard appeal from the district court’s

order granting summary judgment on their claims of false imprison-

ment and battery.   We have reviewed the record and the district

court’s opinion and find no reversible error.   Accordingly, we af-

firm on the reasoning of the district court.    See Matthews v. Home

Depot, No. CA-98-2863-S (D. Md. Mar. 9, 1999).     We dispense with

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-

ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.




                                                           AFFIRMED
