    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS


    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

    No. 00-6599

    In Re: THOMAS CARVER STEPHENS,


    Petitioner.

    On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.

    Submitted:

    June 15, 2000

    (CR-98-83)

    Decided:

    June 26, 2000

    Before NIEMEYER and MOTZ, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.

    Petition dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


    Thomas Carver Stephens, Petitioner Pro Se.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Thomas Carver Stephens petitions this court for a writ of
    mandamus and requests that we stay district court proceedings in
    his 28 U.S.C.A. 2255 (West Supp. 2000) action.

    The district

    court has entered a final order denying relief on Stephens 2255


    motion.

    Accordingly, while we grant leave to proceed in forma

    pauperis, we dismiss the mandamus petition as moot.

    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 DISMISSED
