See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Billy Grisso appeals the district court’s order dismissing his
mandamus petition which sought to compel the Defendant to render a
decision on his application for benefits filed under 42 U.S.C.
§ 402(x)(1) (1988) (current version at 42 U.S.C.A. § 402(x)(1)
(West Supp. 1998)). We have reviewed the record and the district
court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we
affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Grisso v. Apfel, No.
CA-98-1061-AMD (D. Md. Apr. 20, 1998). We also deny Grisso’s motion
to remand. 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
