UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 14-1159
In Re: JAMAL BARNES,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.
(1:02-cr-00079-AMD-1)
Submitted: March 20, 2014 Decided: March 24, 2014
Before MOTZ and THACKER, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior
Circuit Judge.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Jamal Barnes, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Jamal Barnes petitions for a writ of mandamus,
alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his
pending 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2012) motion. He seeks an order from
this court directing the district court to act. Our review of
the district court’s docket reveals that there is no pending
§ 2255 motion. Accordingly, we conclude that there has been no
undue delay in the district court, and we deny the mandamus
petition. 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
this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
PETITION DENIED
