    Thomas Williams filed a petition for a writ of mandamus alleging that the district court unduly delayed acting on his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion. The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit granted Williams leave to proceed in forma pauperis but denied the mandamus petition as moot, as the district court had dismissed Williams' § 2255 motion on August 3, 2007, a few weeks prior to the Court of Appeals' decision. The Court of Appeals dispensed with oral argument, finding the facts and legal issues were adequately presented in the case materials.

    UNPUBLISHED

    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS


    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

    No. 07-6644

    In Re:

    THOMAS WILLIAMS,
    Petitioner.

    On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.

    Submitted:

    September 13, 2007

    (3:06-cv-00075-JRS)

    Decided:

    September 18, 2007

    Before GREGORY and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges, and WILKINS, Senior


    Circuit Judge.

    Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

    Thomas Williams, Petitioner Pro Se.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

    PER CURIAM:
    Thomas Williams petitions for writ of mandamus, alleging
    the district court has unduly delayed acting on his 28 U.S.C.
    2255 (2000) motion.

    He seeks an order from this court directing

    the district court to act.

    The district court dismissed Williams

    2255 motion by order entered August 3, 2007. Therefore, although


    we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we deny the mandamus
    petition as moot. 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
