UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 08-1857

In Re: RAKIM ROYSTER,

Petitioner.

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (5:08-hc-02079-D)

Submitted: December 16, 2008 Decided: December 19, 2008

Before WILKINSON, MICHAEL, and KING, Circuit Judges.

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Rakim Royster, Petitioner Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Rakim Royster petitions for a writ of mandamus,

alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his

(2000) petition. 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,

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
