PER CURIAM:

          Wilfredo Gonzalez Lora appeals from the district court’s

orders denying his petition for writ of mandamus and denying his

motion to amend.   We have reviewed the record and the district

court’s opinions and find no reversible error.     Accordingly, we

affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.        Lora v.

United States Dep’t of Justice, No. CA-02-1507-AM (E.D. Va. filed

July 16, 2003 & entered July 17, 2003; Feb. 23, 2004).   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
