PETITION FOR REHEARING OF AN ORDER DENYING

A PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS

COMES NOW Petitioner, Antwoyn Spencer proceeding pro se, and hereby

respectfully submits this petition for rehearing on the following

substantial grounds:

- This --Court -has-power pursuant to Article _III _Section _1., &action_

2, Clause 1 & 2 of the United States Constitution, 28 U.S.C. §1254(1),

and 28 U.S.C. §1651(a) to issue -a writ of mandaMu. Futhermore, the

peremptory writ of mandamus has traditionally been used in federal

courts "to confine an inferior court to a lawful exercise of its

prescribed jurisdiction or compel it to exercise its authority when it

is its duty to do so." Will v United States, 389 U.S. 90, 95, 19 L. Ed.

305, 88 S. Ct. 269 (1967) quoting Roche v, Evaporated Milk Ass'n, 319

U.S. 21, 26, 87 L. Ed. 1185, 63 S. Ct. 938 (1943). Repeated decisions

of the Supreme Court have established the rules that mandamus "will lie

in- a proper case to direct a subordinate Federal Court to decide a

pending cause." Insurance Company v Comstock, 83 U.S. (16 Wall.) 258,

270, 21 L. Ed. 493 (1872); Thermtron Prods. Inc. v Hermansdorfer, 423

U.S. 336, 352, 46 L. Ed. 2d 542, 96 S. Ct. 584 (1987) and Will v Calvert

Fire Ins. Co., 437 U.S. 655, 622, 57 L. Ed. 2d 504, 98 S. Ct. 2552

(1978).
