    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

    No. 96-7814

    MILFORD JUNIOR MASON,


    Plaintiff - Appellant,
    versus
    CARL F. CREEDEN,
    Defendant - Appellee.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of
    Maryland, at Baltimore. Benson E. Legg, District Judge. (CA-963176-L)
    Submitted:

    March 13, 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    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.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    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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. Creeden, No. CA-96-3176-L
    (D. Md. Oct. 23, 1996). Mason's motion for appointment of counsel
    is denied. 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.

    DISMISSED
