Submitted:   January 31, 2002             Decided:   February 7, 2002


Before NIEMEYER, WILLIAMS, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.


Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


Randolph E. Dawson, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Randolph E. Dawson appeals from the district court’s order

denying his “Motion for Writ of Mandamus.”    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.   United States v. Dawson, No. CR-99-88 (E.D. Va. Aug. 17,

2001).   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
