    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
    No. 08-1413
    In Re:   MARION EDWARD PEARSON, JR.,
    Petitioner.
    On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.   (1:06-cv-00069)
    Submitted:   November 19, 2008          Decided:    December 22, 2008
    Before MICHAEL and SHEDD, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior
    Circuit Judge.
    Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    Marion Edward Pearson, Jr., Petitioner Pro Se.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
    PER CURIAM:
    Marion Edward Pearson, Jr., petitions for a writ of
    mandamus, alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting
    on his 
    28 U.S.C. § 2254
     (2000) petition.      He seeks an order from
    this court directing the district court to act.        Our review of
    the docket sheet reveals that the district court recently denied
    Pearson’s § 2254 petition.      Accordingly, because the district
    court has decided Pearson’s case, we deny the mandamus petition
    as moot.      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
