UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 02-6963
In Re: VINCENT EUGENE LINEBERGER,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (CA-00-568-3-1MU)
Submitted: August 13, 2002 Decided: Occtober 16, 2002
Before WILLIAMS, MICHAEL, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Vincent Eugene Lineberger, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Vincent Eugene Lineberger filed this petition for writ of
mandamus seeking to have this court direct the district court to
act on three motions pending in his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000) action.
The district court entered an order in the § 2255 proceeding on
April 26, 2002. Because the district court has acted within six
months of the filing of the petition, we find no unreasonable
delay. Accordingly, although we grant Lineberger’s motion for
leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we deny mandamus relief. 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
