In Re: McSheffrey v. ( 2003 )

UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 03-7370
In Re: JOHN PATRICK MCSHEFFREY,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (CA-03-663)
Submitted: November 19, 2003 Decided: December 5, 2003
Before WILKINSON and GREGORY, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior
Circuit Judge.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
John Patrick McSheffrey, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
John Patrick McSheffrey petitions for a writ of mandamus,
alleging that the district court has refused to file his 28 U.S.C.
§ 2241 (2000) petition. He seeks an order from this court directing
the district court to file his petition. The district court’s
docket reflects that the district court filed and dismissed the
petition by order entered on August 29, 2003. While we grant
McSheffrey’s motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we deny
his mandamus petition. 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
