UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 08-1106
In Re: LACY DAVIS, III,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.
Submitted: March 4, 2008 Decided: March 12, 2008
Before WILKINSON, MICHAEL, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Lacy Davis, III, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Lacy Davis, III, petitions for a writ of mandamus,
alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his motion
for the district court to amend or alter its May 3, 2006 order
denying his motion under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000). Davis seeks an
order from this court directing the district court to act.
Although it appears from the materials before the court that the
district court has not yet disposed of Davis’s motion to alter or
amend the May 2006 judgment, the district court has subsequently
resolved two other pro se motions Davis filed in the same action.
Because there has been recent activity in this case, we find there
has been no undue delay in the district court. Accordingly,
although we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we deny the
mandamus petition. 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
