    Eddie Thomas Jackson filed a petition for a writ of mandamus alleging undue delay by the district court in ruling on his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion. The court of appeals reviewed the docket and found that the district court had recently denied Jackson's § 2255 motion, rendering the mandamus petition moot. While granting Jackson's motion to proceed in forma pauperis, the court denied the mandamus petition as the district court had now ruled on the case.

    UNPUBLISHED

    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS


    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

    No. 04-6337

    In Re:

    EDDIE THOMAS JACKSON,

    Petitioner.

    On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (CR-00-607; CA-02-4170-12-4)

    Submitted:

    March 12, 2004

    Decided:

    April 6, 2004

    Before NIEMEYER, LUTTIG, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.

    Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

    Eddie Thomas Jackson, Petitioner Pro Se.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Eddie Thomas Jackson 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.

    Our review of the docket

    sheet reveals that the district court recently denied his 2255
    motion.

    See United States v. Jackson, Nos. CR-00-607, CA-02-4170-

    12-4 (D.S.C. Mar. 4, 2004).

    While we grant Jacksons motion for

    leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we deny the mandamus petition


    as moot because the district court has recently decided the case.
    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
