UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 03-7092
In Re: DAVID HALL CRUM,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.
(CA-03-427-5, CA-03-434-5)
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Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
David Hall Crum, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
David Hall Crum petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging the
district court has unduly delayed in taking action in two petitions
for writ of habeas corpus Crum filed in May 2003. Crum seeks an
order from this court directing the district court to issue show
cause orders in these actions. However, because we find no
unreasonable delay, we deny Crum’s request for mandamus relief.
Crum’s motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis is granted,
and 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
