    Garry Copeland filed a petition for a writ of mandamus asking the appeals court to direct the district court to docket and act on his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion. The appeals court noted that Copeland had also applied to proceed in forma pauperis. The court then denied the mandamus petition as moot, explaining that the district court had recently acted on Copeland's § 2255 motion.

    (CR-90-108-N)

    Decided:

    September 15, 1999

    Before ERVIN, WILKINS, and HAMILTON, Circuit Judges.

    Garry Copeland, Petitioner Pro Se.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Garry Copeland filed a petition for a writ of mandamus seeking
    to have this court direct the district court to docket and act on
    Copelands 28 U.S.C.A. 2255 (West Supp. 1999) motion.
    has also applied to proceed in forma pauperis.
    has recently acted on Copelands 2255 motion.

    Copeland

    The district court


    Accordingly, al-

    though 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
