UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 07-7015
In Re: HARVEY P. SHORT,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (2:07-cv-00277; 2:07-cv-00409;
2:07-cv-00255)
Submitted: October 24, 2007 Decided: November 1, 2007
Before WILKINSON, TRAXLER, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Harvey P. Short, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Harvey P. Short petitions for a writ of mandamus,
alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting in three 42
U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) actions. Our review of the district court
docket sheets reveals that the district court held a status
conference on several of Short’s cases, including these three, on
October 4, 2007. Accordingly, because there has been recent
significant action in the district court, we deny the mandamus
petition as moot. We grant Short’s motion 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
