    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS


    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

    No. 11-1033

    In Re:

    THOMAS FRANKLIN CROSS, JR.,


    Petitioner.

    On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (5:10-hc-02250-D)

    Submitted:

    February 24, 2011

    Decided:

    March 3, 2011

    Before GREGORY, SHEDD, and KEENAN, Circuit Judges.

    Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

    Thomas Franklin Cross, Jr., Petitioner Pro Se.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

    PER CURIAM:
    Thomas Franklin Cross, Jr., petitions for a writ of
    mandamus, alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting
    on his 28 U.S.C. 2254 (2006) petition.

    He seeks an order from

    this court directing the district court to act.

    We find there

    has been no undue delay in the district court.

    Accordingly,

    although we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we deny


    the mandamus petition.

    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
