Brian Giannolla, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Brian Giannolla appeals the district court’s order denying his

petition for writ of mandamus. We have reviewed the record and find

no reversible error.   Accordingly, we grant leave to proceed in

forma pauperis and affirm on the reasoning of the district court.

See Giannolla v. Bureau of Prisons, No. CA-02-453-5-H (E.D.N.C.

Aug. 19, 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.
