UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 05-7799
In Re: VINCENT MISSOURI,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.
(CR-00-498; CA-05-1598)
Submitted: March 24, 2006 Decided: April 4, 2006
Before WILKINSON, TRAXLER, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Vincent Missouri, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Vincent Missouri petitions for writ of mandamus, alleging
the district court has unduly delayed acting on his motion filed
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000). He seeks an order from this
court directing the district court to act. Our review of the
docket sheet reveals that the district court has recently denied
relief on Missouri’s § 2255 motion. See United States v. Missouri,
6:05-cv-01598-MBS (D.S.C. Dec. 8, 2005). Accordingly, because the
district court has decided Missouri’s case, we deny the mandamus
petition as moot. 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
