PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's order denying relief on

his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint. We have reviewed the record

and the district court's opinion and find no reversible error. Ac-

cordingly, we affirm substantially on the reasoning of the district

court. Greene v. Maloff, No. CA-95-2987-JFM (D. Md. Apr. 24, 1996).
We also note that Appellant's Eighth Amendment claim was properly

dismissed for failure to provide evidence of a serious or signifi-

cant injury or a substantial risk of serious harm. Shakka v. Smith,

, 166 (4th Cir. 1995). We deny Appellant's motions for

suspension of rules, remand, counsel and consolidation. 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
