In re: Hill v.

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit February 9, 2005

Opinion

No. 04-1702

Petitioner.

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus or Prohibition. (CA-04-55-1)

Submitted: November 15, 2004 Decided: February 9, 2005

Before MICHAEL, MOTZ, and TRAXLER, Circuit Judges.

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Thomas W. Hill, Petitioner Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Thomas W. Hill petitions for writ of mandamus or

prohibition directing the district court and the bankruptcy court

to abstain from further proceedings with regard to an involuntary

bankruptcy petition filed against him. We find that Hill has not

shown a clear right to the relief sought. See In re First Fed.

Sav. & Loan Ass’n,

(4th Cir. 1988). Accordingly,

we deny the mandamus petition. We also deny Hill’s motion to hold

this petition in abeyance pending the resolution of other matters

pending in this court. 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.
