PER CURIAM:
Appellant appeals from the district court's order dismissing
his civil complaint and his amended complaint for failure to state
a claim upon which relief may be granted, Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6),
and denying his motion for reconsideration. We have reviewed the
record and the district court's opinions and find no reversible
error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district
court. Butler v. Oestreicher, No. CA-95-3117-CCB (D. Md. Dec. 7,
1995; Jan. 4, 1996). Further, we deny Appellant's motion to remand
this case to the state court. We dispense with oral argument be-
cause the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in
the materials before the court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
AFFIRMED
