UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 06-6105

In Re: CHARLES EDWARD O’NEIL,

Petitioner.

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (5:00-cr-00047-5)

Submitted: June 7, 2006 Decided: June 22, 2006

Before MICHAEL, MOTZ, and SHEDD, Circuit Judges.

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Charles Edward O’Neil, Petitioner Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Charles Edward O’Neil petitions for writ of mandamus, alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his Rule 35(b) motion and other pending motions to correct or reduce his sentence. O’Neil seeks an order from this court directing the district court to act. Our review of the docket sheet reveals that the district court has recently denied these motions. Accordingly, though we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we deny the mandamus petition 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
