In Re: Cooper v. ( 2003 )

UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 03-7575
In Re: ALVIN COOPER,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (CA-02-466-7)
Submitted: December 11, 2003 Decided: December 23, 2003
Before NIEMEYER and MOTZ, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior
Circuit Judge.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Alvin Cooper, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Alvin Cooper petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging the
district court has unduly delayed acting on his 28 U.S.C. § 2255(2000) motion. He seeks an order from this court directing the
district court to act. Because the district court recently
dismissed Cooper’s § 2255 motion, we deny the mandamus petition as
moot. We grant Cooper 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
