UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 03-7175
In Re: ROBERT WILLIAM PUCKETT,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (CR-98-12)
Submitted: November 24, 2003 Decided: February 4, 2004
Before WIDENER, MOTZ, and KING, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Robert William Puckett, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Robert W. Puckett petitions this court for a writ of
mandamus directing the district court to act on his 28 U.S.C.
§ 2255 (2000) motion. Our review of the district court docket
sheet in that action reveals that the district court entered a
final order on April 22, 2003, denying relief on Puckett’s § 2255
motion. Accordingly, although we grant leave to proceed in forma
pauperis, we deny the mandamus petition as moot. 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
