While the range of the district court’s discretion is “more narrow” in eases involving dismissal or judgment by default,see Wilson v.

In the seminal case of Kugler v. Romain, 58 N.J. 522 , 279 A.2d 640 (1971), the court noted that unconscionability is “an amorphous concept” designed “not to erase the doctrine of freedom of contract, but to make realistic the assumption of the law that the [contractual] agreement has resulted from real bargaining between parties who had freedom of choice and understanding and ability to negotiate in a meaningful fashion.” Id. at 544 , 279 A.2d 640 (cited with approval in Gladden v.

Center, Defendant-Appellee.

No. 90-6927.

United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.

Submitted Jan. 7, 1991.
Decided Jan. 25, 1991.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Baltimore. Frederic N. Smalkin, District Judge. (CA-90-2358-S)

Wayne Kevin Meyer, appellant pro se.

Matthew Thomas Angotti, Jr., Anderson, Coe & King, Baltimore, Md., for appellee.

D.Md.

AFFIRMED.

Before DONALD RUSSELL, WIDENER and K.K. HALL, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

1

Wayne Kevin Meyer appeals from the district court's order denying relief under 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983. 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. Meyer v. McAllister, CA-90-2358-S (D.Md. Oct. 30, 1990). 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.

2

AFFIRMED.
