UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 16-1807

In re: LARRY FELENTISE RAMBERT,

Movant.

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus (5:14-hc-02219-BO)

Submitted: November 17, 2016 Decided: November 21, 2016

Before GREGORY, Chief Judge, and MOTZ and TRAXLER, Circuit Judges.

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Larry Felentise Rambert, Petitioner Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Larry Felentise Rambert petitions for a writ of mandamus,

alleging that the district court has unduly delayed in ruling on

various pending cases. He seeks an order from this court

directing the district court and state court to act. We find

the present record does not reveal undue delay in the district

court. In addition, we do not have jurisdiction to grant

mandamus relief against state officials. 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
