UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 04-7000
In Re: ARTHUR W. PRIVOTT, a/k/a Big Bud,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus
(CR-99-73; CA-99-73-2-BO)
Submitted: October 15, 2004 Decided: November 16, 2004
Before NIEMEYER, LUTTIG, and KING, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Arthur W. Privott, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Arthur W. Privott petitions for a writ of mandamus,
alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on our
March 29, 2002 judgment that vacated and remanded its dismissal of
his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000) motion. Privott seeks an order from
this Court directing the district court to act. Although we find
that mandamus relief is not warranted because the district court
has recently taken significant action in this case, we deny the
mandamus petition without prejudice. 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
