No. 08-1257

In Re: WILLIAM SANFORD GADD, Petitioner.

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (1:02-cr-00240; 1:07-cv-00311)

Submitted: May 22, 2008 Decided: May 28, 2008

Before MOTZ and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

William Sanford Gadd, Petitioner Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM: William Sanford Gadd petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000) motion. He seeks an order from this court directing the district court to act. We find there has been no undue delay in the district court. Accordingly, 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
