(CR-98-12, CA-99-161-7-F)
Submitted: September 25, 2001 Decided: October 18, 2001
Before WIDENER, MOTZ, and KING, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Robert William Puckett, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
On May 29, 2001, Robert Puckett filed a petition for a writ of
mandamus requesting that this court direct the district court to
enter a ruling in his 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2001), motion
filed on September 9, 1999. The district court entered an order in
the § 2255 proceeding on August 28, 2001. Because the district
court has recently acted on Puckett’s petition, we find no unrea-
sonable delay. Thus, mandamus relief is not warranted. According-
ly, we deny the petition for a writ of mandamus. We dispense with
oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-
ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would
not aid the decisional process.
PETITION DENIED
