    Rayford Knight filed a petition for rehearing on the denial of his previous mandamus petition. The Court denied the petition for rehearing but noted that the date on the original opinion should be corrected from "October 2007" to "October 2006". Knight had previously filed a mandamus petition alleging that the district court had unduly delayed acting on a motion he filed in October 2006, but the Court denied that petition as moot since the district court had already denied Knight's motion in April 2007.

    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS


    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
    No. 07-4684

    In Re:
    Chief,

    RAYFORD KNIGHT, a/k/a Cherokee, a/k/a


    Petitioner.
    O R D E R

    Rayford Knight filed a petition for rehearing on the denial of


    his

    mandamus

    petition.

    The

    Court

    denies

    the

    petition

    for

    rehearing.
    We note, however, that the opinion filed November 2, 2007, is
    corrected by replacing October 2007" with October 2006" on line
    two, page two, and line four, footnote *, page two.

    For the Court


    /s/ Patricia S. Connor
    Clerk

    UNPUBLISHED
    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
    No. 07-4684

    In Re:
    Chief,

    RAYFORD KNIGHT, a/k/a Cherokee, a/k/a


    Petitioner.

    On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.


    Submitted:

    October 24, 2007

    (1:93-cr-00022-BEL)
    Decided:

    November 2, 2007

    Before NIEMEYER, GREGORY, and SHEDD, Circuit Judges.


    Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    Rayford Knight, Petitioner Pro Se.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

    PER CURIAM:
    Rayford Knight petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging
    the district court has unduly delayed acting on an October 2006
    motion filed in his criminal case.*

    He seeks an order from this

    court directing the district court to act.

    Our review of the

    district court docket sheet reveals that the district court denied
    the motion in April 2007.

    Accordingly, because the district court

    has already acted on Knights motion, we deny the mandamus petition


    as moot.
    We

    We grant Knights motion to proceed in forma pauperis.

    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

    Although Knight characterizes his district court pleading as


    a motion for release from illegal imprisonment, our review of the
    district court docket sheet reveals that the only motion filed by
    Knight in October 2006 was a motion for return of property and that
    there is no motion for release pending in the district court.
