PER CURIAM:

          Joshua Smith appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (2000) complaint.         We have

reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no

reversible error.   Accordingly, we grant Smith’s motion to protect

his appeal from default, deny Smith’s motion to appoint counsel and

affirm on the reasoning of the district court.        See Smith v.

Warden, No. CA-02-4123-1-WDQ (D. Md. Dec. 1, 2004).    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
