UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 02-7743
In Re: GEORGE MILLER,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (CA-99-692-5)
Submitted: May 13, 2003 Decided: May 21, 2003
Before MICHAEL, TRAXLER, and KING, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
George Miller, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
George Miller petitions for a writ of mandamus alleging that
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. After Miller filed the instant mandamus
petition, the district court entered an order denying relief on
Miller’s habeas petition. Accordingly, we deny Miller’s mandamus
petition as moot but grant his 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
