UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 09-2180

In Re: DONALD LYNN TAYLOR,

Petitioner.

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (5:09-cv-00190)

Submitted: January 19, 2010 Decided: January 26, 2010

Before NIEMEYER, KING, and DAVIS, Circuit Judges.

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Donald Lynn Taylor, Petitioner Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Donald Lynn Taylor petitions for a writ of mandamus,

alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his

(2006) petition. He seeks an order from this

court directing the district court to act. Our review of the

proceedings in the district court reveals that there has been no

undue delay. 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
