Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia, at Clarksburg. William M. Kidd, Senior District Judge. (CA-95-98)

Submitted: December 12, 1995 Decided: January 5, 1996

Before WILKINS, WILLIAMS, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Ricardo A. Renteria-Piedrathita, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Ricardo A. Renteria-Piedrahita appeals from a district court

order denying his petition for mandamus relief. We affirm.

Renteria-Piedrahita petitioned the district court to grant him

mandamus relief in the form of an order to the Attorney General to

begin deportation proceedings as directed by

(i) (1988). The district court found no private right of action and no

standing to seek mandamus relief under

(1988). The

district court was correct. Amendment to immigration laws in 1994

forbids a construction of § 1252(i) that allows any private indi- vidual to force action to begin deportation proceedings. Immigra-

tion and Nationality Technical Corrections Act of 1994,

,

; see also Campos v. INS,

(9th Cir. 1995) (overruling prior Ninth Circuit cases);

Hernandez-Avalos,

(10th Cir. 1995), cert. denied,

(U.S. 1995).

Therefore, we affirm the district court order. 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
