UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 05-6086
In Re: JOHN DOUGLAS JACKSON,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.
(CR-97-246-L; CA-03-2502-L)
Submitted: April 6, 2005 Decided: April 22, 2005
Before NIEMEYER, MICHAEL, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
John Douglas Jackson, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
John Douglas Jackson petitions for 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. Because the district court
has acted in the case as recently as February 16, 2005, we find
there has been no undue delay in the district court. Accordingly,
we deny the mandamus petition. 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
