    Burton Hagwood filed a petition for a writ of mandamus alleging that the district court unduly delayed acting on his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion. The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit reviewed the docket sheet and found that the district court had recently denied Hagwood's § 2255 motion. Therefore, the court denied the mandamus petition as moot since the district court had now decided the case. The court also granted Hagwood leave to proceed in forma pauperis and dispensed with oral argument.
