UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 08-1280
In Re: CLAIR LOVERIDGE,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.
(1:03-cr-00063-IMK-1; 1:06-cv-00006-IMK-JSK)
Submitted: May 22, 2008 Decided: May 28, 2008
Before MOTZ and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior
Circuit Judge.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Clair Loveridge, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Clair Loveridge petitions for a 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. Our review of the docket
sheet reveals that the district court recently issued an order
adopting in part and vacating in part the magistrate judge’s
recommendation on Loveridge’s § 2255 motion and remanding for
further consideration. Because the district court has recently
acted on the motion, 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
