Nathaniel H. Jones, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Nathaniel H. Jones appeals from the district court’s order

denying Jones’ post-judgment motion seeking consolidation of this

action with a mandamus petition Jones filed in this court.    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.     Jones v. South Carolina, No. CA-01-69-2-17AJ

(D.S.C. July 5, 2001).   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.
