    Rodney Smith filed a petition for a writ of mandamus asking the appeals court to order the district court to act on his habeas corpus petition. The appeals court denied the mandamus petition because the district court had recently dismissed Smith's habeas corpus petition, rendering the mandamus petition moot. The appeals court dispensed with oral arguments, as the facts and legal issues were clear based on the materials submitted.

    UNPUBLISHED

    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS


    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

    No. 01-6576

    In Re: RODNEY EUGENE SMITH,


    Petitioner.

    On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.

    Submitted:

    May 17, 2001

    (CA-01-239-1)

    Decided:

    May 29, 2001

    Before WIDENER, NIEMEYER, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.

    Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.


    Rodney Eugene Smith, Petitioner Pro Se.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Rodney Eugene Smith filed a petition for a writ of mandamus
    seeking to have this court issue an order directing the district
    court to act on his habeas corpus petition.

    Because the district

    court recently dismissed Smiths petition for habeas corpus, we


    deny the 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
