PER CURIAM:* Roi Le' Shiloh-Bryant's petition for writ of mandamus is DENIED AS MOOT. The district court's determination not to appoint counsel in this case was not an abuse of discretion. * Local Rule 47.5.1 provides: "The publication of opinions that merely decide particular cases on the basis of well-settled principles of law imposes needless expense on the public and burdens on the legal profession." Pursuant to that Rule, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published. No. 95-50348 -2- Ulmer v. Chancellor, 691 F.2d 209, 212 (5th Cir. 1982). The district court is not precluded from appointing counsel, if necessary, during the pendency of the proceedings. AFFIRMED.
