FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 01-6514
In Re: BERNARD S. LEVI,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (CA-00-2318)
Submitted: May 17, 2001 Decided: May 29, 2001
Before WIDENER, NIEMEYER, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Bernard S. Levi, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Bernard S. Levi has filed a petition for a writ of mandamus
asking this court to compel the district court to issue a decision
on his petition for writ of habeas corpus filed pursuant to 28
U.S.C. § 2241 (1994). Because the district court recently accepted
the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation with modification
and dismissed Levi’s petition for habeas corpus, we deny the manda-
mus petition as moot. We grant Levi leave to proceed in forma pau-
peris in this court. We dispense with oral argument because the
facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-
rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
PETITION DENIED
