PER CURIAM: Appellant appeals from the district court's order dismissing his claim under the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organiza- tion Act, 18 U.S.C.A. §§ 1961-1968 (West 1985 & Supp. 1995). We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, although we deny Appellees' motion to dismiss the appeal, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Bosley v. Riepe, No. CA-95-1190-HAR (D. Md. July 26, 1995). In light of this disposition, we deny Appellees' motion to expedite as moot. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate- rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
