UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 06-6948
In Re: WILLIAM L. MORRELL,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.
(1:02-cr-00100-ALL; 1:05-cv-00200)
Submitted: October 18, 2006 Decided: October 27, 2006
Before NIEMEYER and GREGORY, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior
Circuit Judge.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
William L. Morrell, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
William L. Morrell 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. Our review of the docket
sheet reveals that the district court denied Morrell’s 28 U.S.C.
§ 2255 motion on September 13, 2006. Accordingly, while we grant
Morrell’s request 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
