UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 01-7467
In Re: MICHAEL LEE SPENCER, SR.,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (CA-00-1644-AM)
Submitted: November 8, 2001 Decided: November 20, 2001
Before WILKINS, MICHAEL, and KING, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Michael Lee Spencer, Sr., Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
On August 1, 2001, Michael Lee Spencer, Sr., filed this peti-
tion for a writ of mandamus seeking an order directing the district
court to act on his motion for declaratory and injunctive relief
and on his motion for an accelerated hearing, both filed in the
district court on June 26, 2001. The district court entered an
order denying both of these motions on August 24, 2001; Spencer’s
petition for mandamus is therefore moot. Accordingly, although we
grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis in this petition, we deny
the petition for writ of mandamus. 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 DENIED
