UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 99-1826
In Re: LARRY RITCHIE, JR.,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Certiorari. (CA-98-1151-6)
Submitted: September 30, 1999 Decided: October 6, 1999
Before NIEMEYER, WILLIAMS, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Larry Ritchie, Jr., Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Larry Ritchie, Jr., petitions this court to issue a writ of
certiorari to the district court and review the record and two
orders in actions he filed in 1997 and 1998, pursuant to Fed. R.
App. P. 21(c) and 28 U.S.C. § 1651 (1994). Ritchie filed a notice
of appeal of these orders in Ritchie v. West Virginia, No. 99-
1750.* This appeal provided the proper vehicle for challenging the
orders, and we perceive no basis for reviewing these adjudications
by extraordinary writ. Accordingly, we deny Ritchie’s motions for
a hearing under Fed. R. Civ. P. 7 and for default judgment and his
petition for a writ of certiorari. 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.
PETITION DENIED
*
This appeal was dismissed on September 3, 1999, under 4th
Cir. Local R. 45, for failure to pay the filing fee.
