    Michael Boyd filed a petition for a writ of mandamus to compel the district court to act on his habeas corpus petition. The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit denied Boyd's petition, finding that the delay in the district court ruling on Boyd's habeas corpus petition, which had been filed over four months prior, had not been unreasonable. The court dispensed with oral argument, determining the facts and legal issues were adequately presented in the case materials.

    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS


    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

    No. 97-511

    In Re: MICHAEL BOYD,


    Petitioner.

    On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (No. CA-96-165-1)


    Submitted:

    February 25, 1997

    Decided:

    March 6, 1997

    Before WIDENER, LUTTIG, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.


    Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    Michael Boyd, Petitioner Pro Se.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Michael Boyd filed a petition for a writ of mandamus to compel
    the district court to act on his petition for a writ of habeas
    corpus. Boyd filed his habeas corpus petition on October 16, 1996,
    and amended the petition on December 24, 1996. We find that the
    delay in the district court has not been unreasonable. Accordingly,
    we deny Boyd's petition for a writ of mandamus. 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
