See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying relief on his Bivens complaint.* Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Faulcon v. Bidwell, No. CA-96-862-WMN (D. Md. Nov. 27, 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

* Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Fed. Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971).
