PER CURIAM:

Robert Ray Allen appeals the district court’s order granting

the Defendants’ motions for summary judgment and denying relief on

his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) 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. See

Allen v. Patuxent Inst., No. CA-00-3502-PJM (D. Md. Feb. 6, 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
