UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 12-2172

In re: DENARD EDWARD CARRINGTON, a/k/a Bird,

Petitioner.

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (3:09-cr-00160-JRS-1; 3:11-cv-00670-JRS)

Submitted: December 20, 2012 Decided: December 26, 2012

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

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Denard Edward Carrington, Petitioner Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Denard Edward Carrington petitions for a writ of

mandamus, alleging that the district court has unduly delayed in

ruling on his

(West Supp. 2012) motion. He

seeks an order from this court directing the district court to

act. We find the present record does not reveal undue delay in

the district court. Accordingly, we grant leave to proceed in

forma pauperis and deny the mandamus petition. We dispense with

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are

adequately presented in the materials before this court and

argument would not aid the decisional process.

PETITION DENIED
