In re: Hawkins v.

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit October 11, 2005

Opinion

No. 05-7090

Petitioner.

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (CR-98-16)

Submitted: September 29, 2005 Decided: October 11, 2005

Before WILKINSON, KING, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges.

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Justin Hawkins, Petitioner Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Justin Hawkins petitions for writ of mandamus, alleging

that the district court has unduly delayed implementing our

instructions on remand in this court’s opinion in United States v.

Hawkins, 104 F. App. 321 (4th Cir. Aug. 11, 2004) (unpublished).

He seeks an order from this court directing the district court to

act. Our review of the district court docket sheet reveals that

the court entered its order on remand on October 6, 2004.

Accordingly, because the district court has complied with our

remand order, we deny the mandamus petition as moot. We grant

Hawkins leave to proceed in forma pauperis and 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.
