UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 03-7365
In Re: KESLET ETIENNE, a/k/a Jose Phillipe,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (CA-02-482-BO-5)
Submitted: October 9, 2003 Decided: October 21, 2003
Before LUTTIG, KING, and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Keslet Etienne, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Keslet Etienne petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging the
district court has unduly delayed acting on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241
(2000) motion filed in July 2002. He seeks an order from this court
directing the district court to act. Our review of the docket sheet
reveals that the district court dismissed Etienne’s motion without
prejudice on September 5, 2003. Accordingly, although we grant
leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we deny Etienne’s mandamus
petition as moot because the district court has recently decided
Etienne’s case. 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
