Unpublished Disposition

JUDGMENT
PER CURIAM.
Advertisement
This case came to be heard on the record on appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Columbia and briefs were filed by appellant. The issues have been accorded full consideration by the court and occasion no need for a published opinion. See D.C.Cir. Rule 14(c). On consideration of the issues, it is
ORDERED and ADJUDGED that the appeal be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Appellant's habeas corpus petition lacks merit and the issuance of a certificate of probable cause is not warranted. 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2253; Garris v. Lindsay, 794 F.2d 722 (D.C.Cir.1986). Because appellant has other adequate remedies available to him, it cannot be said that he has been denied a federal right. Garris, 794 F.2d at 725; Barefoot v. Estelle, 463 U.S. 880, 892 (1983).
The Clerk is directed to withhold issuance of the mandate herein until seven days after disposition of any timely petition for rehearing. See D.C.Cir. Rule 15.
