See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     William Allen Legg, a Maryland inmate, appeals the district

court’s order denying relief on his request for mandamus relief.

We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and

find no reversible error.   Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning

of the district court.    See Legg v. Maryland, No. CA-99-3745-DKC

(D. Md. Dec. 23, 1999).   We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-

rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.
