See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Malcom Maxwell Ryidu appeals the district court’s order deny- ing relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2001) 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. Ryidu v. Western Corr. Inst., Nos. CA-01- 52-H; CA-01-53-H; CA-01-58-H (D. Md. filed July 17, 2001 & entered July 18, 2001). 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
