UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 07-6644
In Re: THOMAS WILLIAMS,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (3:06-cv-00075-JRS)
Submitted: September 13, 2007 Decided: September 18, 2007
Before GREGORY and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges, and WILKINS, Senior
Circuit Judge.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Thomas Williams, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Thomas Williams 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. The district court dismissed Williams’
§ 2255 motion by order entered August 3, 2007. Therefore, although
we grant leave 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
