In Re: Greenfield v.

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit January 4, 2007

Opinion

No. 06-7539

Petitioner.

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (8:98-cr-00412-DKC-1; 8:03-cv-01142-DKC)

Submitted: December 21, 2006 Decided: January 4, 2007

Before NIEMEYER, WILLIAMS, and KING, Circuit Judges.

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Michael Maurice Greenfield, Jr., Petitioner Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Michael Maurice Greenfield, Jr., petitions for a writ of

mandamus, alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on

his motion to vacate his sentence pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 2255

(2000). Greenfield seeks an order from this court directing the

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

the district court denied the § 2255 motion on September 29, 2006.

Accordingly, although 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.
