In Re: Cooper v. ( 2008 )

UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 08-1514
In Re: RICHARD D. COOPER,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (1:07-cv-00272-BEL)
Submitted: June 25, 2008 Decided: July 10, 2008
Before TRAXLER and SHEDD, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior
Circuit Judge.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Richard D. Cooper, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Richard D. Cooper petitions for a writ of mandamus,
alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his 42
U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) action. He seeks an order from this court
directing the district court to act. Although we find that
mandamus relief is not warranted because the delay is not
unreasonable, we deny the mandamus petition without prejudice to
the filing of another mandamus petition if the district court does
not act expeditiously. 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
