    Aaron Holsey, a Maryland prisoner, filed a petition for a writ of mandamus to direct that his cases be assigned to a different judge. The court denied the petition, finding that Holsey's allegations of bias against the judge were based on disagreements with the judge's rulings in his cases, not any extrajudicial bias, as relief requires. The court granted in forma pauperis status but denied the petition for writ of mandamus.

    2d 417
    Unpublished Disposition

    NOTICE: Fourth Circuit I.O.P. 36.6 states that citation of


    unpublished dispositions is disfavored except for establishing
    res judicata, estoppel, or the law of the case and requires
    service of copies of cited unpublished dispositions of the Fourth

    In re Aaron HOLSEY, Petitioner.
    No. 88-8045.

    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.


    Submitted Feb. 28, 1989.
    Decided March 24, 1989.

    Aaron Holsey, petitioner pro se.


    Before SPROUSE and WILKINS, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior
    Circuit Judge.
    PER CURIAM:

    Aaron Holsey, a Maryland prisoner, petitions this Court for a writ of mandamus
    directing that his cases be assigned to a different Maryland district judge. As it
    is obvious that Holsey's allegations of bias are based on his disagreement with
    Judge Kaufman's actions in his cases, rather than on any extrajudicial bias, we
    find that he is not entitled to relief. See In re Beard, 811 F.2d 818, 827 (4th
    Cir.1987). Thus, while we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we deny
    the petition.

    PETITION DENIED.
