No. 00-6444

In Re: VINCENT EUGENE LINEBERGER, Petitioner.

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (CA-00-103-5)

Submitted: May 25, 2000 Decided: June 6, 2000

Before WILLIAMS, MICHAEL, and KING, Circuit Judges.

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Vincent Eugene Lineberger, Petitioner Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: On March 31, 2000 Vincent E. Lineberger filed this petition for writ of mandamus seeking an order directing the district court to act on his petition for a writ of habeas corpus and his motions for preliminary injunction and bond pending review which he filed in February and March 2000. Because it has been less than six months since Lineberger filed his action in the district court, we find no undue delay. Thus, mandamus relief is not warranted. Al- though we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus. We dispense with oral argument be- cause the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the Court and argument would not significantly aid in the decisional process.

PETITION DENIED
