UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 08-2070

In Re: PAUL R. JONES, Petitioner.

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.

Submitted: January 9, 2009 Decided: January 28, 2009

Before TRAXLER and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.

Petition dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Paul R. Jones, Petitioner Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM: Paul R. Jones petitions for a writ of mandamus seeking an order compelling the United States Attorney General to investigate an Arizona district court in connection with a civil action in that court. We conclude that we lack jurisdiction to issue the requested writ. See Gurley v. Superior Court of Mecklenburg County, 411 F.2d 586, 587 (4th Cir. 1969).

Accordingly, we dismiss the petition for writ of mandamus. 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.

PETITION DISMISSED
