United States Attorney, Tamera Lynn Fine, OFFICE OF THE UNITED
STATES ATTORNEY, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Appellant appeals the district court's order dismissing this
action for failure to exhaust administrative remedies. We have
reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no
reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the
district court. Wilder v. Shalala, No. CA-97-1809-S (D. Md. Aug.
25, 1997). 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
