PER CURIAM:
Maurice

Johnson

appeals

the

district

courts

orders

dismissing his civil action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 1983 (2000),


and denying relief on his Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) motion.

We have

reviewed the record and the district courts orders and find no
reversible error.

We affirm the district courts dismissal of

Johnsons 1983 complaint on the reasoning of the district court.


Johnson v. West, No. CA-03-3406-8-PJM (D. Md. May 14, 2004).

In

addition, we find that the district courts denial of Johnsons


Rule 59(e) motion was not an abuse of discretion.

Temkin v.

Frederick County Commrs, 945 F.2d 716, 724 (4th Cir. 1991).

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
