UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 14-1524
In re: JAMAL BULLOCK,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.
(5:14-hc-02002-F)
Submitted: July 24, 2014 Decided: July 28, 2014
Before FLOYD and THACKER, Circuit Judges, and DAVIS, Senior
Circuit Judge.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Jamal Bullock, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Jamal Bullock petitions for a writ of mandamus,
alleging that the district court has unduly delayed in ruling on
his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (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 petition without prejudice to Bullock’s
right to file another petition if the district court does not
act expeditiously on his pending petition. 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
