    Jimmie Swann filed a petition for a writ of mandamus directing the district court to act on various motions he had filed, including a motion for habeas corpus relief. The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit denied Swann's petition, finding no undue delay by the district court. Most delays were actually due to Swann's own requests for extensions of time and to supplement the record. The court therefore denied Swann's petition for a writ of mandamus.

    UNPUBLISHED

    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS


    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

    No. 96-507

    In Re: JIMMIE LEE SWANN,


    Petitioner.

    On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (CA-95-9)


    Submitted:

    April 16, 1996

    Decided:

    April 25, 1996

    Before MURNAGHAN and LUTTIG, Circuit Judges, and PHILLIPS, Senior


    Circuit Judge.
    Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    Jimmie Lee Swann, Petitioner Pro Se.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Jimmie Swann petitions this court for a Writ of Mandamus
    directing the district court to act on various motions filed by
    Swann in the district court, including his motion for habeas corpus
    relief under 28 U.S.C. 2255 (1988). Our review of the record
    discloses that there has been no undue delay in the district court,
    and that, in fact, most of the delays of which Swann complains are
    attributable to his own requests for extensions of time and to supplement the record. Accordingly, we grant Swann's motion to proceed
    in forma pauperis, but deny his application for a Writ of Mandamus.

    PETITION DENIED
