    The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit denied a petition for a writ of mandamus filed by Estella Prade and James Jackson. The petition sought to direct a district court judge to grant a motion to amend their complaint and expedite a trial against a law firm. The Court of Appeals noted that the district court had since granted summary judgment for the law firm, rendering the requested relief moot. Therefore, the petition for mandamus relief was denied.

    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS


    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

    No. 96-603

    In Re: ESTELLA PRADE; JAMES JACKSON,


    Petitioners.

    On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (CA-94-18-3)


    Submitted:

    February 25, 1997

    Decided:

    March 5, 1997

    Before WIDENER, WILKINS, and HAMILTON, Circuit Judges.


    Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    Estella Prade, James Jackson, Petitioners Pro Se.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Estella Prade and James Jackson petition this court for a Writ
    of Mandamus directing Judge Robert Maxwell to grant petitioners'
    motion to amend their complaint and grant them an expedited trial
    in connection with their civil action filed in Judge Maxwell's
    court against the law firm of Jackson & Kelly. We note that subsequent to the filing of this petition, the district court issued a
    decision granting summary judgment to Jackson & Kelly in Prade v.
    Jackson & Kelly, No. CA-94-18-3 (N.D. W. Va. Oct. 16, 1996). That
    decision renders moot petitioners' request for the relief specified. Accordingly, we grant petitioners' motion to proceed in forma
    pauperis, but their petition for mandamus relief is denied.

    PETITION DENIED
