UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 14-1029
In re: JAMES C. PLATTS,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.
(1:13-cv-00178-IMK-JES)
Submitted: March 27, 2014 Decided: April 1, 2014
Before MOTZ, Circuit Judge, and HAMILTON and DAVIS, Senior
Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
James C. Platts, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
James C. Platts filed a petition for a writ of
mandamus and an amended petition for a writ of mandamus,
alleging that the district court has unduly delayed in ruling on
his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2012) petition. He seeks an order from
this court directing the district court to act. We find the
present record does not reveal undue delay in the district
court. Accordingly, we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis
and deny the mandamus petitions. * 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
*
To the extent Platts requests that this court rule on his
§ 2241 petition in the first instance, we conclude that Platts
is not entitled to such relief.
