PER CURIAM:
Yimoe Siddha appeals the district court’s order denying his request for a writ of
mandamus directing state and county officials to provide Siddha with documents related
to his criminal case. As federal courts lack jurisdiction to issue writs of mandamus against
state officials, the district court correctly denied Siddha’s request. See Gurley v. Superior
Court of Mecklenburg Cnty., 411 F.2d 586, 587 (4th Cir. 1969). Accordingly, we affirm
the district court’s order. Siddha v. Off. of the Att’y Gen., No. 1:23-cv-02104-PJM (D. Md.
Oct. 13, 2023). 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
