93-973-S)

Mary M. Alexander, Appellant Pro Se. Lawrence Paul Fletcher-Hall,
Assistant Attorney General, Margaret Witherup Tindall, OFFICE OF
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF MARYLAND, Baltimore, Maryland, for
Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's orders dismissing this

action alleging hostile environment sexual discrimination and deny-

ing Appellant's various post-judgment motions. Because the conduct

alleged in this case to constitute harassment was not the sort that
a reasonable person would find hostile or abusive, we affirm on the

reasoning of the district court.* Alexander v. Maryland Lottery,
No. CA-93-973-S (D. Md. Dec. 19, 1996). We deny the motion for

leave to proceed in forma pauperis 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 deci-

sional process.




                                                           AFFIRMED
