In Re: Gregory Green v.

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 16-2302 In re: GREGORY GREEN, Petitioner. On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (0:16-cv-00846-RBH) Submitted: January 31, 2017 Decided: February 2, 2017 Before WILKINSON, KEENAN, and THACKER, Circuit Judges. Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion. Gregory Green, Petitioner Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Gregory Green 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 conclude that 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. 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 2
