UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 02-6667
In Re: GARLAND EDWARD PITTMAN,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (CA-00-121)
Submitted: August 8, 2002 Decided: September 19, 2002
Before NIEMEYER and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior
Circuit Judge.
Petition dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Garland Edward Pittman, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Garland Edward Pittman petitions this court for a writ of
mandamus directing the district court to rule on his habeas corpus
petition filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2000), which Pittman
filed in June 2000. The district court docket sheet reveals that
on July 29, 2002, the district court entered a final order denying
relief on Pittman’s § 2254 petition. Accordingly, Pittman has
received the relief he seeks in his mandamus petition. Although we
grant Pittman leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we dismiss the
mandamus petition as moot. Pittman’s motions for leave to file
exhibits, for stay of judgment and injunction, and for appointment
of counsel are denied. 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
