Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Baltimore. M. J. Garbis, District Judge. (CA-96-1821- MJG)

Submitted: November 21, 1996 Decided: December 6, 1996

Before HALL, WILKINS, and HAMILTON, Circuit Judges.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Larry Lee Thompson, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Appellant, a Maryland state inmate, appeals the district

court's order denying relief on his

(1994)

complaint under

(d) (1994), amended by Prison Litigation Reform Act,

Stat. 1321 (1996).

We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and

find that this appeal is frivolous. Accordingly, we dismiss the

appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Thompson v. Howe,

No. CA-96-1821-MJG (D. Md. July 9, 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.

DISMISSED
