    Miguel Quinones filed a petition for a writ of mandamus alleging that the district court unduly delayed acting on his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition. After Quinones filed the writ of mandamus, the district court's docket report showed that the Respondent answered Quinones' petition. As Quinones received the relief sought, the court denied the mandamus petition as moot since the facts and legal contentions were adequately presented and argument would not aid the decision.

    UNPUBLISHED

    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS


    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

    No. 07-6086

    In Re:

    MIGUEL QUINONES,

    Petitioner.

    On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.


    (5:06-cv-00072)

    Submitted:

    May 31, 2007

    Decided:

    June 19, 2007

    Before NIEMEYER, KING, and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges.

    Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

    Miguel Quinones, Petitioner Pro Se.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

    PER CURIAM:
    Miguel Quinones has filed a petition for writ of mandamus
    in which he alleges that the district court has unduly delayed
    acting on his 28 U.S.C. 2254 (2000) petition.

    Quinones asks this

    court to issue an order directing the district court to order the


    Respondent to answer his petition.

    The district courts docket

    report reveals that after Quinones filed his writ of mandamus, the
    Respondent answered Quinoness petition.

    Because Quinones has

    received the relief he sought, we grant leave to proceed in forma


    pauperis

    but

    deny

    Quinoness

    mandamus

    petition

    as

    moot.

    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
