    The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit dismissed Rufus Houser's petition for a writ of mandamus directing the district court to rule on his 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 motion. The court granted Houser's request to proceed in forma pauperis but dismissed the mandamus petition as moot because the district court had already denied Houser's § 2255 motion on June 27, 2000. The court dispensed with oral argument, finding the facts and legal issues were adequately presented in the court materials.

    are adequately presented in the materials before the court and
    argument would not aid the decisional process.
