UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 02-7282
In Re: JEROME ADDISON,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.
(CA-02-2271-2-12-AJ)
Submitted: November 7, 2002 Decided: November 14, 2002
Before WILKINS and LUTTIG, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior
Circuit Judge.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Jerome Addison, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Jerome Addison petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging the
district court has unduly delayed acting on his 28 U.S.C. § 2254
(2000) petition. He seeks an order from this court directing the
district court to act. We find there has been no undue delay in the
district court. Accordingly, we deny the mandamus petition. We
deny the motion 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
