PER CURIAM:
Joseph William Alfred appeals the district court’s order
denying his motion to inspect grand jury minutes. Because Alfred
failed to show a particularized need to inspect the grand jury
minutes, we affirm the judgment of the district court. See In re
Grand Jury Proceedings, 800 F.2d 1293, 1298 (4th Cir. 1986). 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
