    v.
    Bishop ROBINSON; Norma B. Gluckstern; M. Cruz,
    Defendants-Appellees.
    No. 89-7845.

    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.


    Submitted: Feb. 21, 1990.
    Decided: March 29, 1990.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland,
    at Baltimore. Edward S. Northrop, Senior District Judge. (C/A No. 88-77N)
    David Bright, appellant pro se.
    Maureen Mullen Dove, Assistant Attorney General, Baltimore, Md., for
    appellees.
    D.Md.
    AFFIRMED.
    Before PHILLIPS and MURNAGHAN, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER,
    Senior Circuit Judge.
    PER CURIAM:

    David Bright appeals from the district court's order denying punitive damages

    under 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983. Our review of the record and the district court's
    opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit. Although the magistrate
    recommended that punitive damages be awarded against Director Gluckstern,
    the district court could properly find that Gluckstern was not recklessly or
    callously indifferent to any federally protected rights. See Smith v. Wade, 461
    U.S. 30, 56 (1983). Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court.
    Bright v. Robinson, C/A No. 88-77-N (D.Md. Dec. 14, 1988). 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
