UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 99-6753
In Re: IFEANYI ANYIM IKO,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (CA-99-619-DKC)
Submitted: September 9, 1999 Decided: September 15, 1999
Before ERVIN, WILKINS, and HAMILTON, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Ifeanyi Anyim Iko, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Ifeanyi A. Iko petitions this court for a writ of mandamus
directing the district court for the District of Maryland to rule
on his motion to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal. This court
received notice that the district court denied this motion on July
21, 1999. Accordingly, although we grant leave to proceed in forma
pauperis, we deny the mandamus petition as moot. We dispense with
oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-
ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would
not significantly aid the decisional process.
PETITION DENIED
