AFFIRMED AS MODIFIED.
Before HALL and MURNAGHAN, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:
Gilbert J. Fenwick appeals from the district court's order denying relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988). Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we affirm substantially on the reasoning of the district court. Fenwick v. Smith, No. CA-94-3158-AW (D.Md. Nov. 2, 1995). We affirm on the district court's reasoning the grant of summary judgment for Defendant Sewall B. Smith. However, pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 4(m), we modify the district court's order to a dismissal without prejudice of all other Defendants. 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 AS MODIFIED
