PER CURIAM:
Thomas R. Cox appeals the district court’s order
denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) complaint against
the State of Maryland and Anne Arundel County, and his
defamation complaint against Kelly Pultz. We have reviewed the
record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for
the reasons stated by the district court. Cox v. Maryland, No.
1:12-cv-01364-GLR (D. Md. Sept. 10, 2012). We dispense with
oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are
adequately presented in the materials before this court and
argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
