UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 14-2046

In Re: CLOREY EUGENE FRANCE, Petitioner.

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (1:13-cv-00250-JAB-LPA)

Submitted: April 10, 2015 Decided: April 16, 2015

Before MOTZ and GREGORY, Circuit Judges, and DAVIS, Senior Circuit Judge.

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Clorey Eugene France, Petitioner Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM: Clorey Eugene France petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district court has unduly delayed in ruling on his petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2012). 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 deny France’s motion for release pending appeal and emergency relief, and 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
