D. Md.
AFFIRMED.
Before MURNAGHAN and WILKINS, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:
Appellants William J. Scheck and WJS Group, Limited, appeal from the district court's order dismissing their action against the State of Maryland and various officials of the state. The district court dismissed the action based upon Eleventh Amendment immunity, the court's local rules, and abstention.* Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Scheck v. Maryland, No. CA-93-2459-JFM (D. Md. Aug. 31, 1993). 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.
The district court relied upon Younger v. Harris, 401 U.S. 37 (1971), in its decision to abstain from further action
