   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  04-1132
   Western District of Missouri   
   Civil case - Social Security. 1984 agreement between the U.S. and the 
   U.K. on Social Security did not provide a basis for awarding Taylor 
   mandamus relief compelling the Commissioner to pay her disability 
   benefits as that agreement has been modified by 1996 federal law 
   providing that no alien shall be paid benefits for any month during which 
   she was not lawfully present in the U.S.; since Taylor had failed to 
   provide the Commissioner with documentary evidence establishing her 
   lawful presence, she was not entitled to a writ compelling the payment of 
   benefits; if Taylor promptly provides the Commissioner with the original 
   documentation needed to establish lawful presence, the Commissioner 
   can then seek a determination from the Department of Homeland Security 
   on the question; until Taylor exhausts this possible avenue of relief, she is 
   not entitled to mandamus relief. Judge Heaney, dissenting.
