UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 07-6514
In Re: JANISON VEAL, a/k/a Jason,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.
(3:02-cr-00043)
Submitted: June 21, 2007 Decided: June 29, 2007
Before NIEMEYER, WILLIAMS, and SHEDD, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Janison Veal, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Janison Veal petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging
the district court has unduly delayed in acting on the magistrate
judge’s report and recommendation issued on September 29, 2006,
relative to Veal’s motion filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255
(2000). Veal seeks an order from this court directing the district
court to act. Our review of the docket sheet reveals that the
district court since has filed its order adopting the report and
recommendation of the magistrate judge, and granting in part Veal’s
§ 2255 motion. Accordingly, because the district court has acted
in Veal’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
