J. Alan Bricker, Appellant Pro Se. Lawrence Joseph Ageloff, OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF MARYLAND, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Appellant appeals the district court's order granting Defen-

dant's motion for summary judgment and dismissing Appellant's suit

filed pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990,

(1994). 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. Bricker v. Maryland, No. CA-95-3624-S (D. Md. July 26, 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.

AFFIRMED
