UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 04-6429
In Re: WILLIAM HENRY COLEMAN,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (CA-03-77)
Submitted: June 16, 2004 Decided: July 9, 2004
Before MOTZ, TRAXLER, and KING, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
William Henry Coleman, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
William Henry Coleman petitions for a writ of mandamus,
alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his 28
U.S.C. § 2241 (2000) petition. He seeks an order from this court
directing the district court to act. Our review of the docket
sheet reveals that the district court rendered a final order and
judgment in this case on May 11, 2004. Accordingly, because the
district court has recently decided Coleman’s case, we deny the
mandamus petition as moot. We grant leave to proceed in forma
pauperis. 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
