(CA-95-2987-JFM) Submitted: November 7, 1996 Decided: November 19, 1996 Before RUSSELL and WIDENER, Circuit Judges, and PHILLIPS, Senior Circuit Judge. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Victor Collyn Greene, Appellant Pro Se. John Joseph Curran, Jr., Attorney General, Stephanie Judith Lane-Weber, Assistant Attorney General, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellees. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). 2 PER CURIAM: Appellant appeals the district court's order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint. We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no reversible error. Ac- cordingly, we affirm substantially on the reasoning of the district court. Greene v. Maloff, No. CA-95-2987-JFM (D. Md. Apr. 24, 1996). We also note that Appellant's Eighth Amendment claim was properly dismissed for failure to provide evidence of a serious or signifi- cant injury or a substantial risk of serious harm. Shakka v. Smith, 71 F.3d 162, 166 (4th Cir. 1995). We deny Appellant's motions for suspension of rules, remand, counsel and consolidation. 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 3
