    Harry Edwin LAWSON, Plaintiff-Appellant,
    v.
    BUREAU OF ALCOHOL, TOBACCO AND FIREARMS, et
    al., Defendants-Appellees.
    No. 89-2112.

    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.


    Submitted: Aug. 31, 1989.
    Decided: Feb. 6, 1990.

    Harry Edwin Lawson, appellant pro se.


    Before MURNAGHAN, CHAPMAN and WILKINSON, Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM:

    Harry Edwin Lawson appeals from the district court's order denying relief
    under 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983. Our review of the record and the district court's
    opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit. Lawson's complaint sets
    forth no facts which would support a claim under Sec. 1983. Accordingly, we
    affirm the district court's dismissal of the case. 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.

    Lawson's "Writ of Mandamus," which we construe as a motion to expedite, is

    granted to the extent that the case has been handled as expeditiously as
    possible, given the Court's heavy caseload
