PER CURIAM:
Michael R. Moreland appeals the district court’s order dis-
missing his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2000) complaint for lack
of subject matter jurisdiction. We have reviewed the record and
the district court’s opinion and find that this appeal is friv-
olous. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the
district court. Moreland v. Maryland, No. CA-01-99-WMN (D. Md.
filed Jan. 23, 2001; entered Jan. 24, 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.
DISMISSED
