AFFIRMED.

Before WIDENER, WILKINSON and NIEMEYER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

1

Mark Davis appeals from the district court’s order granting summary judgment to the Defendants in his 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983 (1988) action in which he sought injunctive and monetary relief. We review the grant of summary judgment de novo, drawing all justifiable inferences in favor of the non-moving party. Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 255 (1986); Overstreet v. Kentucky Cent. Life Ins. Co., 950 F.2d 931, 938 (4th Cir.1991). Davis filed this action against the Maryland officials involved in initiating and pursuing the regulatory enforcement actions which resulted in the loss of his license to practice medicine. Under Butz v. Economou, 438 U.S. 478 (1978), the Defendants are entitled to absolute immunity. In any event, we find that Davis failed to show that the Defendants violated a clearly established constitutional or federal statutory right of which a reasonably prudent official should have been aware and thus the Defendants were entitled to qualified immunity. Harlow v. Fitzgerald, 457 U.S. 800 (1982). Therefore, we affirm the district court’s order granting summary judgment to the Defendants. 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
