    In Re: Michael BOYD, Petitioner.
    No. 97-511.

    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.


    Submitted Feb. 25, 1997.
    Decided March 6, 1997.

    Michael Boyd, Petitioner Pro Se.


    Before WIDENER, LUTTIG, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM:

    Michael Boyd filed a petition for a writ of mandamus to compel the district
    court to act on his petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Boyd filed his habeas
    corpus petition on October 16, 1996, and amended the petition on December
    24, 1996. We find that the delay in the district court has not been unreasonable.
    Accordingly, we deny Boyd's petition for a writ of mandamus. 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
