UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 04-7103
In Re: RALPH FRANKLIN FREDRICK,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (CA-04-20)
Submitted: October 22, 2004 Decided: December 10, 2004
Before MOTZ and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior
Circuit Judge.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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 Franklin Fredrick petitions for a writ of mandamus,
alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his 28
U.S.C. § 2254 petition. He seeks an order from this court
directing the district court to act. We find there has been no
undue delay in the district court. Accordingly, we deny the
mandamus petition, deny Fredrick’s motion to expand the record, and
deny his motion to expedite. Although we grant 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
