    Before WILKINS, LUTTIG, and TRAXLER, Circuit Judges.

    Michael R. Moreland, Appellant Pro Se.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Michael R. Moreland appeals the district courts order dismissing 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 courts opinion and find that this appeal is frivolous.

    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
