In Re: Cyrus George v.

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit January 27, 2003

Opinion

No. 02-7821

Petitioner.

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (CA-90-78)

Submitted: January 16, 2003 Decided: January 27, 2003

Before WILLIAMS, KING, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges.

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Cyrus Jonathan George, Petitioner Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:

Cyrus Jonathan George petitions for a writ of mandamus,

alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his motion

to alter or amend the judgment in his criminal case. He seeks an

order from this court directing the district court to act.

Although we find that mandamus relief is not warranted because the

delay is not unreasonable, we deny the mandamus petition without

prejudice to the filing of another mandamus petition if the

district court does not act expeditiously. 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.
