UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 02-7454
In Re: ALANI OLUSEGUN ARAWOLE,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.
(CR-97-283-L, CA-00-66-L)
Submitted: March 7, 2003 Decided: March 18, 2003
Before WILLIAMS and KING, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior
Circuit Judge.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Alani Olusegun Arawole, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Alani Olusegun Arawole petitions for a writ of mandamus,
alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his 28
U.S.C. § 2255 (2000) motion. He seeks an order from this court
directing the district court to act. The district court entered an
order on February 24, 2003, denying relief as to three of Arawole’s
claims and appointing counsel for the remaining claims of
ineffective assistance of counsel. Accordingly, because the
district court has recently taken significant action in Arawole’s
case, we deny the mandamus petition as moot. We grant leave to
proceed in forma pauperis. We dispense with oral argument because
the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the
materials before the court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
PETITION DENIED
