    Robert Puckett filed a petition for a writ of mandamus directing the district court to act on his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion. The appeals court reviewed the district court docket and found that the district court had already entered a final order on April 22, 2003 denying Puckett's § 2255 motion. Therefore, the appeals court denied the mandamus petition as moot since the district court had already ruled on the motion.

    UNPUBLISHED

    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS


    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

    No. 03-7175

    In Re:

    ROBERT WILLIAM PUCKETT,

    Petitioner.

    On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (CR-98-12)

    Submitted: November 24, 2003

    Decided:

    February 4, 2004

    Before WIDENER, MOTZ, and KING, Circuit Judges.

    Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

    Robert William Puckett, Petitioner Pro Se.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Robert W. Puckett petitions this court for a writ of
    mandamus directing the district court to act on his 28 U.S.C.
    2255 (2000) motion.

    Our review of the district court docket

    sheet in that action reveals that the district court entered a


    final order on April 22, 2003, denying relief on Pucketts 2255
    motion.

    Accordingly, although we grant leave to proceed in forma

    pauperis, we deny the mandamus petition as moot.

    We dispense with

    oral

    contentions

    argument

    because

    the

    facts

    and

    legal

    are

    adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument


    would not aid the decisional process.

    PETITION DENIED
