    Submitted:   March 11, 2010                 Decided:   March 31, 2010
    Before SHEDD, DUNCAN, and AGEE, Circuit Judges.

    DEPARTMENT   OF   PUBLIC   SAFETY   AND CORRECTIONAL  SERVICES,
    Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellees.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
    PER CURIAM:
    Frederick        L.    Goodman       appeals     the   district     court’s
    orders denying relief on his 
    42 U.S.C. § 1983
     (2006) complaint
    and denying his motion to alter or amend the judgment.                          We have
    reviewed the record and find no reversible error.                        Accordingly,
    we   affirm    for     the    reasons     stated       by    the     district    court.
    Goodman v. Maryland Parole Comm’n, No. 1:08-cv-01337-RDB (D. Md.
    filed July 15, 2009, entered July 16, 2009; Nov. 12, 2009).                           We
    take note that the use of victim impact statements in making a
    determination     regarding         parole       and   the    Open    Parole    Hearing
    policy did not violate the Ex Post Facto Clause or Goodman’s
    right to due process.              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
