Martina D. Evans, Appellant Pro Se. Bruce Stephen Harrison, Francis William Connolly, SHAWE & ROSENTHAL, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Appellant appeals the district court's order granting Appel-

lees' motion for summary judgment. We have reviewed the record and

the district court's opinion and find no reversible error. Accord-

ingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court and deny

Appellees' motion to strike. Evans v. USF&G Co., No. CA-95-2318-L (D. Md. Apr. 25, 1997). 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
