AFFIRMED.
Before K.K. HALL, MURNAGHAN and WILKINSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Winston Lloyd, a member of a class action challenging the conditions of confinement at the Maryland House of Corrections, appeals the district court's denial of his petition for a writ of mandamus. Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit. The district court did not have jurisdiction to compel counsel in the class action, who were not employees or officials of the federal government, to present Lloyd's claims to the court. See 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1361. Accordingly, we affirm the district court's denial of the petition. Lloyd v. Schmidt, CA-77-113-H (D.Md. Dec. 1, 1989). 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.
