Karriem Wali Muhammad, Appellant Pro Se. Tamera Lynn Fine, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, 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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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 Defen-

dants' motion for summary judgment and dismissing his claims under

the First and Eighth Amendments of the United States Constitution.

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. Muhammad v. Federal Bureau of Prisons, No. CA-96-4051-MJG (D. Md. Sept. 12, 1997). 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
