PER CURIAM:
Appellant, a Maryland inmate, appeals the district court’s
order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint under
28 U.S.C.A. § 1915A (West Supp. 1998). We have reviewed the record
and the district court’s opinion and find that this appeal is friv-
olous. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the
district court. Iko v. Irwin, No. CA-97-2082-DKC (D. Md. Aug. 20,
1997). We deny Appellant’s motion for the appointment of counsel
and dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal con-
tentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court
and argument would not aid the decisional process. Appellant’s
motion for an evidentiary hearing is also denied.
DISMISSED
