SERGEANT PIERCE; CORRECTIONAL OFFICER SHANK; DAN DEVAROE, Correctional Officer II,

Defendants - Appellees.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Baltimore. J. Frederick Motz, District Judge. (1:07- cv-01974-JFM)

Submitted: January 17, 2008 Decided: January 25, 2008

Before TRAXLER, SHEDD, and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Emmett Barkley, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Emmett Barkley appeals the district court’s order

dismissing his

(2000) complaint under

(e)(2)(B) (2000). We have reviewed the record and find that

this appeal is frivolous. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for

the reasons stated by the district court. Barkley v. Pierce, No.

1:07-cv-01974-JFM (D. Md., Aug. 21, 2007). We further deny as moot

Barkley’s motion for expedited adjudication of this appeal. 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
