PER CURIAM:
Aaron Little French appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C.
§ 1983 complaint. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly,
we affirm the district court’s order. French v. Elliott, No. 1:23-cv-01775-PX (D. Md. Feb.
11, 2025). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are
adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
