In Re: ARTHUR LEE HAIRSTON, SR.,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus
(CR-00-24; CA-03-70-3)
Submitted: September 27, 2005 Decided: September 29, 2005
Before LUTTIG, MOTZ, and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Arthur Lee Hairston, Sr., Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Arthur Lee Hairston, Sr., filed a petition for writ of
mandamus seeking an order requiring the district court to process
his notice of appeal. However, the appeal in question is
proceeding and is currently pending in this court. Accordingly,
although we grant permission 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
