THOMAS, Chartered, Plaintiff - Appellant, versus BELL ATLANTIC MARYLAND, INCORPORATED, Defendant - Appellee. No. 96-2478 GREGORY L. A. THOMAS, Chartered, Plaintiff - Appellant, versus BELL ATLANTIC MARYLAND, INCORPORATED, Defendant - Appellee. Appeals from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Greenbelt. Peter J. Messitte, District Judge. (CA- 96-1488-PJM) Submitted: June 17, 1997 Decided: September 3, 1997 Before HALL, NIEMEYER, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges. No. 96-2144 dismissed and No. 96-2478 affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Gregory Lee Andrew Thomas, Appellant Pro Se. Donald P. Maiberger, ANDERSON & QUINN, Rockville, Maryland, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). 2 PER CURIAM: Appellant appeals two orders entered in an action challenging billing practices in connection with a change of telephone service. In No. 96-2478, we have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.* Thomas v. Bell Atlantic Md., Inc., No. CA-96-1488-PJM (D. Md. Sept. 19, 1996). In light of this decision, the appeal in No. 96-2144 from the denial of injunctive relief is moot. Accordingly, we dismiss that appeal. We deny Appellant's motion to file a supplemental appendix. We dis- pense 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. No. 96-2144 - DISMISSED No. 96-2478 - AFFIRMED * To the extent that the district court’s order could be construed as a dismissal without prejudice for failure to exhaust state administrative remedies, we note that even if Appellant exhausted such remedies, there would be no federal jurisdiction over this case. 3
