Andrew Mark Hudson, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
In Hudson v. Hunt, 235 F.3d 892 (4th Cir. 2000), we remanded
the habeas corpus petition of Andrew Mark Hudson, 28 U.S.C.A.
§ 2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 2001), to the district court for further
proceedings. Hunt has now filed this petition for writ of man-
damus, complaining of unreasonable delay in the district court and
asking that we compel the district court to act. Although we find
the delay is not unreasonable, we deny the petition without prej-
udice to Hunt’s right to refile if the district court does not act
expeditiously. We deny Hudson’s motion for appointment of counsel
and his motion to compel. We dispense with oral argument because
the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-
terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
PETITION DENIED
