United States Attorney, Allen F. Loucks, OFFICE OF THE UNITED
STATES ATTORNEY, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellees.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Richard Lewis Beckwith appeals the district court’s order

denying his petition for a writ of mandamus.   We have reviewed the

record and find no reversible error.    Accordingly, we affirm for

the reasons stated by the district court. See Beckwith v. Shearin,

No. CA-02-1907-AW (D. Md. filed Oct. 28, 2002 & entered Oct. 29,

2002).   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
