Plaintiff - Appellant,
versus
THE BALTIMORE CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT; UNKNOWN

Defendants - Appellees.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of

(CA-03-337-1-WDQ)
Submitted: January 30, 2004 Decided: March 11, 2004
Before MOTZ, GREGORY, and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
John Gayden, Appellant Pro Se. Peter Saar, BALTIMORE CITY POLICE
DEPARTMENT, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellees.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
John Gayden appeals the district court’s orders
dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint and denying his
motion to reconsider pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b). We have
reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we
affirm substantially on the reasoning of the district court.* See
Gayden v. Baltimore City Police Dep’t, No. CA-03-337-1-WDQ (D. Md.
July 1, 2003; August 1, 2003). 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
*
Because we find no basis to overturn the district court’s
conclusion that Gayden’s suit was barred by the running of the
applicable statute of limitations, we agree with the court that an
amendment to the complaint to add individually-named defendants
would have been futile.
