Charles B. Brownell, Appellant Pro Se.    David Phelps Kennedy,
OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF MARYLAND, Baltimore, Maryland,
for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

           Charles B. Brownell appeals the district court’s order

granting   the   motion   to   dismiss    his   42   U.S.C.   §   1983   (2000)

complaint pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6) for failure to state

a claim upon which relief may be granted.             We have reviewed the

record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the

reasoning of the district court.         See Brownell v. Secretary, Dep’t

of Pub. Safety & Corr. Servs., No. CA-04-124-AW (D. Md. July 1,

2004).   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
