Before ERVIN and MOTZ, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Franklin Lee Minor, Mary Lou Carpenter, Appellants Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Appellants appeal the district court's order dismissing their

petition for writ of mandamus as frivolous. 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. Minor v. Horsey, No. CA-96-2870-S (D. Md. Sept. 25, 1996). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-

tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court

and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
