United States Attorney, Columbia, South Carolina; Regan Alexandra
Pendleton, Assistant United States Attorney, Greenville, South
Carolina, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
William M. Bryson, Jr., appeals from the district court’s
order denying his petition for a writ of mandamus in which he
sought an order from the district court directing his attorney to
provide him with a copy of the trial transcripts and with citations
to the record. Because Bryson’s attorney has sent the transcripts
to Bryson, the district court properly denied the request for
mandamus relief. See In re Beard, 811 F.2d 818, 826 (4th Cir.
1987) (stating that mandamus relief warranted only in extraordinary
circumstances). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order
denying Bryson’s petition for a 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.
AFFIRMED
