Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

PER CURIAM:

Delonte E. Taylor 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 for

the reasons stated by the district court. See Taylor v. Maryland,

No. CA-02-4039-JFM (D. Md. Mar. 25, 2003). 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
