PER CURIAM:
Derek Sprouse, a Virginia inmate, appeals the district court’s order dismissing, on
28 U.S.C. § 1915A review, his petition for writ of mandamus seeking an order directing
the Supreme Court of Virginia to act. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible
error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. Sprouse v. Virginia, No. 1:21-cv-
00670-RDA-IDD (E.D. Va. Nov. 5, 2021). We deny Sprouse’s motion for the appointment
of counsel. 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
