UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 04-6186

In Re: TEKOA T. GLOVER,

Petitioner.

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (CA-03-2689)

Submitted: March 12, 2004 Decided: April 13, 2004

Before TRAXLER, KING, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges.

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Tekoa T. Glover, Petitioner Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Tekoa T. Glover petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2000) petition. He seeks an order from this court directing the district court to act. Because we find that there has been no unreasonable delay, we deny the mandamus petition. We grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, and grant Glover’s motion to amend his petition. 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
