PER CURIAM:

Joyce Branch-Williams appeals the district court’s 

order dismissing her complaint on the basis of res judicata and 

collateral estoppel. We have reviewed the record and find no 

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated 

by the district court. Branch-Williams v. Spencer, No. 1:09-cv02687-JFM (D. Md. Jan. 13, 2010 & Feb. 17, 2010). We also deny 

Branch-Williams’ pending motions to expedite, for procedural and 

substantive relief, for emergency financial relief, and for 

summary judgment. 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
