    Milton Leroy Lawrence filed a petition for a writ of mandamus alleging that the district court unduly delayed acting on his motion for reconsideration of the dismissal of his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition. The Court of Appeals reviewed the docket sheet and found that the district court had recently denied Lawrence's motion for reconsideration, rendering the mandamus petition moot. Therefore, the Court of Appeals denied the petition as moot and granted Lawrence's request to proceed in forma pauperis.

    UNPUBLISHED

    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS


    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

    No. 07-7162

    In Re:

    MILTON LEROY LAWRENCE,


    Petitioner.

    On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (5:06-hc-02131-BO)

    Submitted:

    November 15, 2007

    Decided:

    November 26, 2007

    Before WILLIAMS, Chief Judge, and MOTZ and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges.

    Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

    Milton Leroy Lawrence, Petitioner Pro Se.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

    PER CURIAM:
    Milton Leroy Lawrence petitions for a writ of mandamus,
    alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his motion
    for reconsideration of the district courts order dismissing his
    petition under 28 U.S.C. 2254 (2000).

    He seeks an order from

    this court directing the district court to act.

    Our review of the

    docket sheet reveals that the district court has denied Lawrences
    motion for reconsideration.

    Accordingly, because the district

    court has recently decided Lawrences 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
