PER CURIAM:
Michael Schaefer appeals the district court’s order
granting Appellee’s motion to dismiss his civil complaint alleging
Maryland’s Election Law requiring alphabetical listing of
candidates’ names on ballots violated the Equal Protection Clause.
We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district
court. See Schaefer v. Lamone, No. 1:06-cv-00896-BEL (D. Md.
Dec. 4, 2006). 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
