Eric Glenn Banks, Appellant Pro Se. John Joseph Curran, Jr., At- torney General, Wendy Ann Kronmiller, Assistant Attorney General, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). 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. Banks v. Neal, No. CA-97-1141-S (D. Md. Sept. 24 & Oct. 1, 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
