    Stanley Lorenzo Williams filed a petition for a writ of mandamus alleging undue delay in the district court's ruling on his habeas corpus petition. The district court ruled on Williams' habeas petition in September 2004, after he filed his mandamus petition. As the district court has now ruled on the habeas petition, the mandamus petition seeking to compel a ruling is now moot. The Fourth Circuit therefore denies the petition for a writ of mandamus.

    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS


    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

    No. 04-7229

    In Re:

    STANLEY LORENZO WILLIAMS,

    Petitioner.

    On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (CA-03-299)

    Submitted:

    November 22, 2004

    Decided:

    December 29, 2004

    Before MICHAEL, KING, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges.

    Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

    Stanley Lorenzo Williams, Petitioner Pro Se.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Stanley Lorenzo Williams filed a petition for writ of
    mandamus alleging undue delay in the district courts ruling on his
    28 U.S.C. 2254 (2000) petition.
    petition in April 2003.

    Williams filed his 2254

    The district court ruled on the petition

    on September 7, 2004, after Williams filed his mandamus petition.


    Accordingly,

    the

    mandamus

    petition

    is

    now

    moot.

    Therefore,

    although we grant Williams motion to proceed in forma pauperis, we


    deny the petition for mandamus relief.

    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
