PER CURIAM:

            Kesiena       Tani    appeals     the   district     court’s    orders

dismissing     his   42    U.S.C.    § 1983    (2006)   complaint.         We   have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error.                   Accordingly,

we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.                    Tani v.

Cedar, No. 1:07-cv-01924-CCB (D. Md. March 31, 2008 & Aug. 8,

2008)      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
