PER CURIAM:

           Jovan    Watkins   appeals    the   district   court’s      order

granting summary judgment to Defendants in Watkins’ 42 U.S.C.

§ 1983 (2006) civil rights action.         We have reviewed the record

and find no reversible error.           Accordingly, we affirm for the

reasons stated by the district court.           Watkins v. Md. Div. of

Corr., No. 8:09-cv-00294-DKC (D. Md. Jan. 15, 2010).              We deny

Watkins’   motion   to   appoint   counsel     and   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
