UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 02-6935
In Re: TONY ALLEN WALKER,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (CA-95-690)
Submitted: September 27, 2002 Decided: October 8, 2002
Before MOTZ, KING, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Tony Allen Walker, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Tony Allen Walker 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 Walker filed in
September 1995. The district court docket sheet reveals that on
September 25, 2002, the district court entered a final order
denying relief on Walker’s § 2254 petition. Accordingly, Walker
has received the relief he seeks in his mandamus petition. Although
we grant Walker leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we dismiss the
mandamus petition as moot. 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
