    Irwin Schiff filed a petition for writ of mandamus alleging that the district court unduly delayed acting on his habeas corpus petition. The appeals court denied the mandamus petition, finding that less than six months had passed since Schiff filed the habeas petition and the district court had entered several orders during that time, so there was no undue delay. The appeals court also denied oral argument, as the facts and legal issues were clear based on the submitted materials.

    In re Irwin A. SCHIFF, Petitioner.
    No. 90-8015.

    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.


    Submitted May 7, 1990.
    Decided May 21, 1990.

    On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (C/A No. 89-202-E)


    Irwin A. Schiff, petitioner pro se.
    PETITION DENIED.
    Before ERVIN, Chief Judge, and CHAPMAN and WILKINS, Circuit
    Judges.
    PER CURIAM:

    Irwin A. Schiff, a federal prisoner, brought this petition for writ of mandamus
    alleging that the district court had unduly delayed acting on his petition for writ
    of habeas corpus. The habeas petition was filed in December 1989, less than
    six months ago. Further, the district court has entered several orders during the
    pendency of the habeas action. We hold that the district court has not unduly
    delayed acting on Schiff's habeas petition, so we deny the petition for writ of
    mandamus. Although we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we dispense
    with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately
    presented in the materials before the Court and argument would not
    significantly aid in the decisional process.

    PETITION DENIED.
