Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals 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. Ac-

cordingly, we deny Appellant's motion for general relief and affirm

on the reasoning of the district court. We also affirm the district
court's denial of Appellant's motion to vacate judgment. Phillips
v. Smith, No. CA-94-2312-HAR (D. Md. Aug. 28, 1996; Sept. 25,

1996). 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.
