Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Robert E. Green, Sr. appeals the district court’s order deny- ing relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2000) complaint.

We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and orders and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court but modify the court’s order to provide that the dismissal of Green’s complaint is without prej- udice. See Green v. Mayor and City Council of Baltimore, No. CA- 00-711-MJG (D. Md. Mar. 21 & 29, 2000). 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
