UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 04-7147
IN RE: WILLIAM A. ROSS,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.
(CR-97-184-3-23-V)
Submitted: August 26, 2004 Decided: September 3, 2004
Before WIDENER and SHEDD, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior
Circuit Judge.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
William A. Ross, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
William A. Ross petitions for writ of mandamus, alleging
the district court has unduly delayed acting on his motions to
amend the criminal judgment and for reconsideration. He seeks an
order from this court directing the district court to act. The
district court has already ruled on both motions. 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
