    UNPUBLISHED

    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS


    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

    No. 00-7156

    In Re: JIMMY LEE WILLIAMS,


    Petitioner.

    On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.


    (CR-96-41-F, CA-99-58-F)

    Submitted:

    September 14, 2000

    Decided:

    September 21, 2000

    Before WIDENER, WILLIAMS, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.

    Petition dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


    Jimmy Lee Williams, Petitioner Pro Se.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Jimmy Lee Williams petitions this court for a writ of mandamus
    directing the district court to act upon his motion filed pursuant
    to 28 U.S.C.A. 2255 (West Supp. 2000).

    The district court

    entered a final order on August 29, 2000, denying relief on


    Williams motion.

    Therefore, the petition for mandamus is moot.

    Accordingly, while we grant Williams leave to proceed in forma


    pauperis, we dismiss the mandamus petition without prejudice.

    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 DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE
