    UNPUBLISHED

    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS


    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

    No. 99-6984

    In Re: LEONARD EDWIN THOMAS,


    Petitioner.

    On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.

    Submitted:

    August 31, 1999

    (CR-96-381)

    Decided:

    October 5, 1999

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


    Circuit Judge.

    Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.


    Leonard Edwin Thomas, Petitioner Pro Se.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Leonard Edwin Thomas petitions the court for a writ of mandamus seeking to compel the District Court for the District of
    Maryland to act on his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. 2255 (West
    Supp. 1999).

    Review of the district courts docket sheet reveals

    that the district court denied Thomas motion on August 17, 1999.
    We therefore grant Thomas motion to proceed in forma pauperis, but
    deny his petition for mandamus 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
