In re Fort

326 F. App'x 253
Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit·Decided June 9, 2009·No. No. 09-1303·Published

Opinion

Petition denied by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Dennis E. Fort petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his writ of error coram nobis. He seeks an order from this court directing the district court to act. Although we find that mandamus relief is not warranted because the delay is not [254] unreasonable, we deny the mandamus petition without prejudice to the filing of another mandamus petition if the district court does not act expeditiously. We grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis and deny the motion to expedite as moot. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

PETITION DENIED.
