Before WIDENER, HALL, and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:


1
Petitioner filed in this court a petition for review of the February 1995 Special Report to Congress prepared by the United States Sentencing Commission (the "Commission").  The Report recommends, in part, that the Commission reconsider the present 100 to 1 cocaine base to cocaine powder ratio contained in the guidelines.  United States Sentencing Commission, Guidelines Manual, Sec. 2D1.1 (Nov.1994).  This court is without jurisdiction to review the rulemaking process of the Commission.  Washington Legal Found. v. United States Sentencing Comm'n, 17 F.3d 1446, 1450 (D.C.Cir.1994);  Andrade v. United States Sentencing Comm'n, 989 F.2d 308, 309 (9th Cir.1993).  Accordingly, we deny Petitioner's motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis, grant the Commission's motion to dismiss, and dismiss the petition.  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.
