No. 99-7728
In Re: CRAIG O. COPLEY,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (CA-90-47-HC)
Submitted: April 13, 2000 Decided: April 20, 2000
Before WIDENER and WILKINS, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior
Circuit Judge.
Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Craig O. Copley, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Craig O. Copley petitions this court for a writ of mandamus
directing the district court to rule on his motion for reconsid-
eration. The district court denied this motion on January 4, 2000.
We accordingly deny the motion to proceed in forma pauperis and
dismiss the mandamus petition as moot. We dispense with oral argu-
ment, because the facts and legal contentions are adequately pre-
sented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid
the decisional process.
DISMISSED
