In re: Fredrick v. ( 2006 )

UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 05-7570
In Re: RALPH FRANKLIN FREDRICK,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.
(CA-04-20)
Submitted: January 11, 2006 Decided: August 4, 2006
Before WILLIAMS, KING, and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Ralph Franklin Fredrick, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Ralph Fredrick petitions for writ of mandamus, alleging
the district court has unduly delayed acting on his petition filed
under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2000). He seeks an order from this court
directing the district court to act. The district court dismissed
Fredrick’s § 2254 petition by order on October 28, 2005.
Therefore, although we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, 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
