Affirmed as modified by unpublished per curiam opinion. Gilbert J. Fenwick, Appellant Pro Se. John Joseph Curran, Jr., Attorney General, Audrey J.S. Carrion, OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF MARYLAND, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellees. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). 2 PER CURIAM: Gilbert J. Fenwick appeals from the district court's order denying relief under 42 U.S.C. ยง 1983 (1988). Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we affirm substantially on the rea- soning of the district court. Fenwick v. Smith, No. CA-94-3158-AW (D. Md. Nov. 2, 1995). We affirm on the district court's reasoning the grant of summary judgment for Defendant Sewall B. Smith. How- ever, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m), we modify the district court's order to a dismissal without prejudice of all other Defen- dants. 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 AS MODIFIED 3
