UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 15-2497

In re: NORMAN ALAN KERR, Petitioner.

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (1:09-cr-00290-NCT-1; 1:14-cv-01094-NCT-JEP)

Submitted: February 23, 2016 Decided: February 25, 2016

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

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Norman Alan Kerr, Petitioner Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM: Norman Alan Kerr petitions for a writ of mandamus, claiming that the district court has unduly delayed in ruling on his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2012) motion. He seeks an order from this court directing the district court to act. We find that 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
