UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 03-7094
In Re: FLOYD JUNIOR “DICK” POWELL,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (CR-99-12)
Submitted: August 28, 2003 Decided: September 10, 2003
Before NIEMEYER and SHEDD, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior
Circuit Judge.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Floyd Junior Powell, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Floyd Junior “Dick” Powell petitions for a writ of mandamus,
alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his habeas
motion filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000). 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, although
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
