In re: Peeler v.

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 07-6461 In Re: LONNIE EDGAR PEELER, Petitioner. On Petition for a Writ of Mandamus. (1:99-cr-00052; 1:06-cv-00360) Submitted: May 10, 2007 Decided: May 15, 2007 Before MOTZ and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge. Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion. Lonnie Edgar Peeler, Petitioner Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Lonnie Edgar Peeler petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his motion to vacate 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 denied his motion to vacate in an order entered on April 12, 2007. Accordingly, because the district court has recently decided Peeler’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 - 2 -
