Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (CR-90-86)
Submitted: October 20, 2003 Decided: February 3, 2004
Before LUTTIG, WILLIAMS, and TRAXLER, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Jerry Singletary, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Jerry Singletary petitions for a writ of mandamus,
alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his
application for a certificate of appealability. He seeks an order
from this court directing the district court to act. Our review of
the docket sheet reveals that the district court entered an oral
order denying the motion as moot and directing the Clerk of the
Court to docket the motion and forward it to this Court for
disposition. Accordingly, because the district court has recently
decided Singletary’s case, we grant Singletary leave to proceed in
forma pauperis but deny the mandamus petition as moot. We also
deny the Government’s motion to consolidate this case with United
States v. Singletary, Case No. 03-7259. 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
