Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Baltimore. Marvin J. Garbis, District Judge. (CA-02- 494-MJG)

Submitted: January 16, 2003 Decided: January 24, 2003

Before WILLIAMS, KING, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Alec Rodney Brooks, Appellant Pro Se. Sharon Stanley Street, Assistant Attorney General, Baltimore, Maryland; Philip Melton Andrews, George Eugene Brown, KRAMON & GRAHAM, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:

Alec Rodney Brooks appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on his

(2000) complaint. We have reviewed

the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on

the reasoning of the district court. See Brooks v. Maryland, No.

CA-02-494-MJG (D. Md. Sept. 30, 2002). 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
