Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Leonard R. Crooms, Texas prisoner # 352784, appeals the district court's dismissal of his 28 U.S.C. § 1361 petition for a writ of mandamus. His notice of appeal was filed on June 17, 2003. Crooms did not obtain permission from a judge of this court before filing his appeal, as he is required to do pursuant to this court's order in Crooms v. Cockrell, No. 01-21003 (5th Cir. March 28, 2002). The instant appeal is therefore DISMISSED as improvidently filed.
APPEAL DISMISSED.
Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
