    The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit denied Donnie Jermaine Farrar's petition for a writ of mandamus. Farrar had alleged that the district court unduly delayed ruling on his motion for reconsideration of the dismissal of his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition. However, the court of appeals found that the district court had denied the motion for reconsideration on April 30, 2007, so the mandamus petition was now moot. The court therefore denied the petition and granted Farrar's motion to proceed in forma pauperis.

    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS


    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

    No. 07-6486

    In Re:

    DONNIE JERMAINE FARRAR,

    Petitioner.

    On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.


    (3:07-cv-00085)

    Submitted:

    May 16, 2007

    Decided:

    June 13, 2007

    Before MICHAEL, KING, and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges.

    Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

    Donnie Jermaine Farrar, Petitioner Pro Se.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

    PER CURIAM:
    Donnie Jermaine Farrar petitions for a writ of mandamus,
    alleging the district court has unduly delayed ruling on his motion
    for reconsideration of the dismissal of 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 the motion for reconsideration on April 30,


    2007.

    Accordingly, because the district court has recently ruled

    on Farrars motion, we deny the mandamus petition as moot.

    We

    grant Farrars motion for 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
