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.

AFFIRMED
