UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 99-6114
In Re: JAMES DONALD WATSON,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.
(CR-94-139, CA-97-835-1)
Submitted: May 25, 1999 Decided: June 2, 1999
Before ERVIN, WILKINS, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
James Donald Watson, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
James Donald Watson has petitioned for a writ of mandamus.
After the district court denied Watson’s 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West
1994 & Supp. 1998) motion, he filed in the district court a motion
for a certificate of appealability and a motion requesting that the
district court order a state agency to release all reports and
documents bearing Watson’s name. A magistrate judge denied both
motions, and Watson timely filed objections to the denials in the
district court. Watson’s mandamus petition requests that this
court compel the district court to act on the objections. Because
we find that the district court has not unduly delayed acting on
these matters, we deny the petition. We dispense with oral argu-
ment because the facts and legal contentions are adequately pre-
sented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid
the decisional process.
PETITION DENIED
