In re: Michael Puzey

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 18-1089 In re: MICHAEL PAUL PUZEY, a/k/a Big Pete, Petitioner. On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (3:00-cr-00057-GMG-RWT-16; 3:17-cv-00128-GMG-RWT; 3:17-cv-129-GMG-RWT) Submitted: April 17, 2018 Decided: April 20, 2018 Before WILKINSON and KEENAN, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge. Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion. Michael Paul Puzey, Petitioner Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Michael Paul Puzey petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district court has unduly delayed in ruling on his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2012) motion. 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 Puzey’s mandamus petition and his motion to expedite. 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
