In re: Sawyer v. ( 1996 )

UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 95-8073
In Re: RONALD JERRY SAWYER,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (CA-94-1057-R)
Submitted: November 16, 1995 Decided: February 13, 1996
Before MICHAEL and MOTZ, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior
Circuit Judge.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Ronald Jerry Sawyer, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Ronald Jerry Sawyer filed this petition for a writ of mandamus
seeking a court order to compel prison officials to provide him
access to photocopying, a notary, legal materials, and the law
library. Because Petitioner has not shown that he has a clear right
to the relief sought and that the respondent has the clear duty to
perform the particular act requested, we grant leave to proceed in
forma pauperis and deny the petition for a writ of mandamus.
Mallard v. United States Dist. Court, 490 U.S. 296, 309 (1989). We
further deny his motion requesting the same relief sought in his
petition. 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 DENIED
