Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


Troy Goodman, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Troy Goodman appeals the district court’s order accepting the

report and recommendation of a magistrate judge and denying his

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

find no reversible error.   Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons

stated by the district court.   See Goodman v. Abraham, No. CA-02-

1370-2 (S.D.W. Va. Mar. 4, 2003). We grant Goodman leave to proceed

in forma pauperis on appeal.       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
