PER CURIAM:

     Appellant 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. Hester v. Stowe, No. CA-95-2300-AMD (D. Md. Oct. 1, 1996).

We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-

tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court
and argument would not aid the decisional process.

                                                         AFFIRMED

     *
       Appellant also brought claims under Bivens v. Six Unknown
Named Agents of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388
(1971).
