WILLIAMS v. SMITH (2018)

United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.

Derrell B. WILLIAMS, Petitioner-Appellant, v. Judge Marvin SMITH; Administrative Judge Jonathan G. Newell, Respondents-Appellees.

No. 17-7587

Decided: April 03, 2018

Before AGEE and DIAZ, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.

Derrell B. Williams, Appellant Pro Se.

Derrell B. Williams appeals the district court's order denying his petition for a writ of mandamus. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis and affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.^* Williams v. Smith, No. 1:17-cv-03313-JKB (D. Md. Nov. 14, 2017). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED

FOOTNOTES

FOOTNOTE. Insofar as Williams’ informal brief raises claims not presented to the district court, we conclude that Williams has waived appellate review of those claims. See Pornomo v. United States, 814 F.3d 681, 686 (4th Cir. 2016).

PER CURIAM:

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
