UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 08-1062
In Re: JUSTIN CLAY BEAVER,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.
(1:07-cv-00305-CGM)
Submitted: March 27, 2008 Decided: April 4, 2008
Before TRAXLER and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior
Circuit Judge.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Justin Clay Beaver, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Justin Clay Beaver petitions for writ of mandamus,
alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his 28
U.S.C. § 2254 (2000) petition. He seeks an order from this court
directing the district court to act. The district court dismissed
Beaver’s § 2254 petition by order entered October 9, 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
