PER CURIAM:

     Terry Wendell Copeland appeals from the district court’s order

denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint. 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. Copeland v. Lanham, No. CA-95-3567-AMD (D. Md. Apr.

8, 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.




                                                          AFFIRMED
