Respondent - Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Greenbelt. Peter J. Messitte, District Judge. (8:07-cv-02088-PJM)

Submitted: January 22, 2008 Decided: February 29, 2008

Before WILKINSON, NIEMEYER, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Phillip Mark Shafer, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Phillip Mark Shafer appeals the district court’s order

denying his petition for a writ of mandamus. We have reviewed the

record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny Shafer’s

motion for appointment of counsel and affirm for the reasons stated

by the district court. See Shafer v. Maryland, No.

8:07-cv-02088-PJM (D. Md. filed Aug. 23, 2007 & entered Aug. 24,

2007). We also deny Shafer’s request for 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.
