Julian Edward Rochester appeals the district court’s order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying his petition for a writ of mandamus. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny the motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss the appeal for the reasons stated by the district court. Rochester v. South Carolina Dept of Corr., No. 2:06-cv-03085-HMH (D.S.C. Dec. 1, 2006). 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.

DISMISSED.
