UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 05-7287
In Re: DOUGLAS EMANUEL FOREMAN,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus
(CR-01-90; CA-04-40)
Submitted: October 18, 2005 Decided: October 25, 2005
Before WIDENER, MICHAEL, and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Douglas Emanuel Foreman, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Douglas Emanuel Foreman 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. We find there has been no
undue delay in the district court. Accordingly, we deny the
mandamus petition and grant Foreman’s pending motion 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
