PER CURIAM:
Claude and Lori Holland, husband and wife, filed suit
against Defendants alleging state and federal law causes of
action relating to Claude’s suspension and termination from his
position with the Wicomico County Sheriff’s Office. The
district court granted summary judgment for Defendants finding
the Hollands’ claims were barred by res judicata. We have
reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly,
we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Holland
v. Maryland, No. 1:07-cv-03040-AMD (D. Md. Dec. 5, 2008). 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
