UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 11-1330
In re: HENRY CLAY BOYNES,
Petitioner.
On Petition for a Writ of Mandamus
(5:10-cv-00939)
Submitted: June 16, 2011 Decided: June 20, 2011
Before NIEMEYER and GREGORY, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON,
Senior Circuit Judge.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Henry Clay Boynes, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Henry Clay Boynes petitions for a writ of mandamus,
alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his 28
U.S.C. § 2241 (2006) petition for a writ of habeas corpus. He
seeks an order from this court directing the district court to
act. Although we find that mandamus relief is not warranted
because the delay is not unreasonable, we deny the mandamus
petition without prejudice to the filing of another mandamus
petition if the district court does not act expeditiously. 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
