    Casey Wood filed a petition for a writ of mandamus with the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit alleging undue delay by the district court in acting on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition. The Fourth Circuit denied the mandamus petition, finding that the delay was not unreasonable, but did so without prejudice to allow Wood to file another mandamus petition if the district court does not act expeditiously. The Fourth Circuit also granted Wood's request to proceed in forma pauperis and dispensed with oral argument.

    UNPUBLISHED

    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS


    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

    No. 12-1235

    In Re: CASEY WOOD,


    Petitioner.

    On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.

    Submitted:

    June 13, 2012

    (5:11-cv-00450)

    Decided:

    June 22, 2012

    Before MOTZ, SHEDD, and AGEE, Circuit Judges.

    Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

    Casey Wood, Petitioner Pro Se.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

    PER CURIAM:
    Casey Wood petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging
    the district court has unduly delayed acting on his petition
    pursuant to 28 U.S.C.A. 2241 (West 2006 & Supp. 2011).

    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.
    grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis.

    We

    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
