Lawrence Verline Wilder, Sr., Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM:

Appellant seeks to appeal 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 deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis and

dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Wilder v. United States Federal Protective Serv., No. CA-97-3747-S (D. Md.

Nov. 21, 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.

DISMISSED
