UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 04-6337
In Re: EDDIE THOMAS JACKSON,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (CR-00-607; CA-02-4170-12-4)
Submitted: March 12, 2004 Decided: April 6, 2004
Before NIEMEYER, LUTTIG, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Eddie Thomas Jackson, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Eddie Thomas Jackson petitions for a writ of mandamus,
alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his 28
U.S.C. § 2255 (2000) motion. He seeks an order from this court
directing the district court to act. Our review of the docket
sheet reveals that the district court recently denied his § 2255
motion. See United States v. Jackson, Nos. CR-00-607, CA-02-4170-
12-4 (D.S.C. Mar. 4, 2004). While we grant Jackson’s motion for
leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we deny the mandamus petition
as moot because the district court has recently decided the 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
