PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals from the district court's orders dismissing

certain Defendants and denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983

(1994) complaint. We have reviewed the record and the district
court's opinions and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we

affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Townes v. Baltimore,
No. CA-95-3529-WMN (D. Md. Oct. 3, 1996, Dec. 18, 1996, and Sept.

19, 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
