PER CURIAM:

Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying relief on his

(1994) complaint. 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. McCoy v. Smith, No. CA-92-952-L (D. Md. Apr. 23, 1997). We deny Appellant's motion for appointment of counsel and 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
