In Re: Neal v. ( 2007 )

UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 07-6165
In Re: CHRISTOPHER LEE NEAL,
Petitioner.
On Petition for a Writ of Mandamus
(2:94-CR-00300-JAB)
Submitted: July 9, 2007 Decided: July 20, 2007
Before MICHAEL, MOTZ, and SHEDD, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Christopher Lee Neal, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Christopher Lee Neal petitions for a writ of mandamus,
alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his motion
for reconsideration of the district court’s order denying his
motion under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000). He seeks an order from this
court directing the district court to act. Although it is unclear
from the materials before this court whether the district court
disposed of Neal’s motion for reconsideration filed on February 15,
2005, the district court’s docket sheet indicates the court has
subsequently entered judgment dismissing or denying relief on four
motions filed by Neal challenging his convictions or sentence.
Because there has been recent significant action in this case, we
find there has been no undue delay in the district court.
Accordingly, we deny the 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
