    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS


    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

    No. 96-7821

    MILFORD JUNIOR MASON,


    Plaintiff - Appellant,
    versus
    THE HERALD MAIL COMPANY,
    Defendant - Appellee.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of
    Maryland, at Baltimore. Benson E. Legg, District Judge. (CA-963146-L)
    Submitted:

    March 14, 1997

    Decided:

    March 20, 1997

    Before HALL, ERVIN, and WILKINS, Circuit Judges.


    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    Milford Junior Mason, Appellant Pro Se.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Milford Mason, 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. 1915(e) (West Supp. Sept. 1996, Pamphlet 3). We have
    reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find that
    this appeal is frivolous. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal on the
    reasoning of the district court. Mason v. Herald Mail Co., No. CA96-3146-L (D. Md. Oct. 16, 1996). We deny Mason's motion for appointment of counsel and 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.

    DISMISSED
