PER CURIAM:

     Appellant, a Maryland inmate, appeals the district court’s

order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint under

28 U.S.C.A. § 1915A (West Supp. 1998). We have reviewed the record

and the district court’s opinion and find that this appeal is friv-

olous. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the

district court. Iko v. Irwin, No. CA-97-2082-DKC (D. Md. Aug. 20,

1997). We deny Appellant’s motion for the appointment of counsel

and dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal con-

tentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court

and argument would not aid the decisional process. Appellant’s

motion for an evidentiary hearing is also denied.

                                                         DISMISSED
