    United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
    Submitted Nov. 18, 2002.
    
    Decided Nov. 22, 2002.
    Before REINHARDT, RYMER, and SILVERMAN, Circuit Judges.
    
      
       This panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R.App. P. 34(a)(2). Accordingly, we deny Bird’s request for oral argument.
    
   MEMORANDUM

Donald M. Bird appeals pro se the district court’s judgment dismissing his action, styled as a petition for a writ of mandamus. Bird requested that the district court order the defendants to recant certain statements they made in a prior lawsuit in state court regarding an individual’s right to bear firearms. We have no authority to order the California state governor and attorney general to do so.

AFFIRMED. 
      
       This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
