Opinion

UNPUBLISHED

UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 08-1106

In Re: LACY DAVIS, III,

Petitioner.

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.

Submitted: March 4, 2008 Decided: March 12, 2008

Before WILKINSON, MICHAEL, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges.

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Lacy Davis, III, Petitioner Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Lacy Davis, III, petitions for a writ of mandamus,

alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his motion

for the district court to amend or alter its May 3, 2006 order

denying his motion under

28 U.S.C. § 2255

(2000). Davis seeks an

order from this court directing the district court to act.

Although it appears from the materials before the court that the

district court has not yet disposed of Davis’s motion to alter or

amend the May 2006 judgment, the district court has subsequently

resolved two other pro se motions Davis filed in the same action.

Because there has been recent activity in this case, we find there

has been no undue delay in the district court. Accordingly,

although we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we deny the

mandamus 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
