UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 00-6519
In Re: RUFUS HOUSER,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.
(CR-95-12, CA-98-55-3)
Submitted: July 14, 2000 Decided: July 27, 2000
Before MURNAGHAN and WILKINS, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior
Circuit Judge.
Petition dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Rufus Houser, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Rufus Houser petitions this court for a writ of mandamus di-
recting the district court to rule on his 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West
Supp. 2000) motion. The district court denied the § 2255 motion on
June 27, 2000. Therefore, although we grant leave to proceed in
forma pauperis, we dismiss the mandamus petition as moot. We
dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions
are adequately presented in the materials before the court and
argument would not aid the decisional process.
PETITION DISMISSED
