    In re Amos BROWN, a/k/a Nabb Ali, Petitioner.
    No. 88-8003.

    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.


    Submitted: April 26, 1988.
    Decided: June 23, 1988.

    Amos Brown, petitioner pro se.


    Before JAMES DICKSON PHILLIPS, SPROUSE and WILKINSON,
    Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM:

    Complaining of delay, Amos Brown has petitioned this Court for a writ of
    mandamus compelling the district court to act upon his motion to vacate
    sentence, brought pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2255; Brown has also applied for
    leave to proceed in forma pauperis on his petition. Subsequent to Brown's filing
    his petition and application in this Court, the district court entered a final order
    denying his motion to vacate sentence. Brown v. United States, C/A No. HM87-421 (D.Md. Apr. 13, 1988). Thus, Brown's petition for a writ of mandamus
    is moot and will be denied.

    Accordingly, although leave to proceed in forma pauperis is granted, the


    petition for a writ of mandamus is denied as being moot and this action is
    dismissed.

    DISMISSED.
