UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 05-6096
In Re: SAMUEL DEWITT MCCOTTER,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (CR-90-27)
Submitted: April 25, 2005 Decided: May 11, 2005
Before NIEMEYER, LUTTIG, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Samuel DeWitt McCotter, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Samuel DeWitt McCotter filed a petition for writ of
mandamus alleging undue delay by the district court in ruling on
his petition for Writ of Error Coram Nobis. The district court
dismissed the petition for Writ of Error Coram Nobis on July 28,
2003. Accordingly, the mandamus petition is now moot. Thus,
although we grant McCotter’s application to proceed on appeal in
forma pauperis, we deny the petition for mandamus relief. 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
