UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 02-7369
In Re: BURTON BRAXTON HAGWOOD,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (CR-00-13)
Submitted: October 23, 2002 Decided: October 31, 2002
Before WIDENER, WILLIAMS, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Burton Braxton Hagwood, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Burton Hagwood petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging the
district court has unduly delayed acting on his 28 U.S.C. § 2255
(2000) motion. He seeks an order from this court directing the
district court to act. Our review of the docket sheet reveals that
the district court has denied Hagwood’s § 2255 motion. Accordingly,
because the district court has recently decided Hagwood’s case, we
deny the mandamus petition as moot. We grant leave to proceed in
forma pauperis. 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
