    Demetric Gray Pearson filed a petition for a writ of mandamus alleging undue delay by the district court in acting on his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition. The appeals court reviewed the docket sheet and found that the district court had denied Pearson's petition on February 27, 2004. Therefore, the court denied the mandamus petition as moot since the district court had recently decided the case. The court also granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis and dispensed with oral argument.

    UNPUBLISHED

    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS


    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

    No. 04-6254

    In Re:

    DEMETRIC GRAY PEARSON,

    Petitioner.

    On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.


    (CA-03-564-PJM)

    Submitted:

    March 25, 2004

    Decided:

    April 2, 2004

    Before TRAXLER, KING, and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges.

    Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

    Demetric Gray Pearson, Petitioner Pro Se.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Demetric Gray Pearson petitions for a writ of mandamus,
    alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his 28
    U.S.C. 2254 (2000) petition.

    He seeks an order from this court

    directing the district court to act.

    Our review of the docket

    sheet reveals that the district court denied his petition on


    February 27, 2004.

    Accordingly, because the district court has

    recently decided Pearsons case, we deny the mandamus petition as


    moot.

    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 aid the decisional process.

    PETITION DENIED
