UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 06-7537
In Re: JANISON VEAL,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.
(3:02-cr-00043-WCB-JE)
Submitted: November 21, 2006 Decided: December 4, 2006
Before TRAXLER and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior
Circuit Judge.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Janison Veal, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Janison Veal petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging
the district court has unduly delayed acting on his motion filed
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000). He seeks an order from this
court directing the district court to act. Our review of the
docket sheet reveals that the magistrate judge since has filed his
report and recommendations, recommending that Veal’s motion be
denied. Accordingly, while we grant leave to proceed in forma
pauperis, because the district court recently has acted in Veal’s
case, we deny 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 DENIED
