OPINION
PER CURIAM:
Wayland Willard Talley appeals from the district court's order denying Talley's request for relief in this Bivens1 action charging that federal officials improperly confiscated his legal and religious materials. Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we deny Talley's motion for appointment of counsel and affirm on the reasoning of the district court.2 Talley v. United States Marshall Serv., Nos. CA-89-3075-K, CA-89-3246-K, CA-90-4-K, CA-90-5-K, CA-90-1297-K (D.Md. June 27, 1991). 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.
Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Federal Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971)
Even if Talley is not in actual possession of all his religious and legal materials, his claims were properly dismissed because he failed to allege any specific harm resulting from the alleged loss. See O'Lone v. Estate of Shabazz, 482 U.S. 342 (1987); White v. White, 886 F.2d 721 (4th Cir.1989)
