UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 16-1695

In Re: JASON T. SCOTT, Petitioner.

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (8:10-cr-00031-PJM-1; 8:14-cv-01982-PJM)

Submitted: August 18, 2016 Decided: August 22, 2016

Before WILKINSON, KING, and KEENAN, Circuit Judges.

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Jason T. Scott, Petitioner Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM: Jason T. Scott petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district court has unduly delayed 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 the present record does not reveal undue delay in the district court. Accordingly, we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, deny Scott’s motion for injunctive relief pending appeal, 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
