    Randall Morris filed a petition for a writ of mandamus directing the district court to act on his case in a timely manner. The court denied the writ after reviewing the district court docket and finding that significant action had recently been taken, including a report and recommendation issued by a magistrate judge. As action had recently been taken, the court determined mandamus relief was not warranted and denied the petition.

    In re Randall N. MORRIS, Petitioner.
    No. 92-8060.

    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.


    Submitted Aug. 31, 1992.
    Decided Sept. 28, 1992.

    On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.


    Randall N. Morris, petitioner pro se.
    PETITION DENIED.
    Before SPROUSE and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER,
    Senior Circuit Judge.
    OPINION
    PER CURIAM:

    Randall N. Morris seeks a writ of mandamus directing the district court to act
    upon his case in a timely fashion. We deny the writ.

    A review of the district court's docket sheet reveals that a report and
    recommendation was issued by the magistrate judge on July 27, 1992. Morris's
    objections to the report were due on August 12. Significant action has recently
    been taken on Morris's case.

    Accordingly, though we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we deny the


    petition for mandamus relief. 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.
