Allen Harper-El, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Appellant, a Maryland inmate, appeals the district court's order dismissing as frivolous his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) action and order denying his motion for reconsideration. We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinions and find that this appeal is frivolous. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Harper-El v. Glendening, No. CA- 97-3130-L (D. Md. Oct. 16 & Nov. 20, 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
