In Re: Hamilton v. ( 2007 )

UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 07-6066
In Re: WILLIAM HAMILTON,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.
(9:00-cr-00263-SB-7)
Submitted: May 25, 2007 Decided: July 17, 2007
Before WILLIAMS, Chief Judge, and NIEMEYER and KING, Circuit
Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
William Hamilton, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
William Hamilton petitions for a writ of mandamus
claiming there was undue delay by the district court in disposing
of his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000) motion. The Government filed a
response noting that on May 8, 2007, the district court entered an
order disposing of several of Hamilton’s motions, dismissed many of
his claims, and ordered that counsel be appointed and a hearing be
held to consider one of Hamilton’s claims. In light of the court’s
action, we deny as moot Hamilton’s petition for a writ of
mandamus.* We also deny his motions for clarification and for
summary judgment. We grant his motion 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
*
Hamilton also claims several pro se motions filed during his
criminal proceedings remain pending. Those motions were disposed
of by virtue of the criminal judgment.
