Opinion

No. 11-1098.

Submitted: March 22, 2011.

Decided: April 13, 2011.

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (5:08-cv-00286).

Lawrence A. Azure, Petitioner Pro Se.

Before SHEDD, AGEE, and WYNN, Circuit Judges.

Petition denied by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


Lawrence A. Azure petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his petition for relief under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2241 (West 2006 Supp. 2010). He seeks an order from this court directing the district court to act. Although we find that mandamus relief is not warranted because of the recent issuance of the magistrate judge's report and recommendation, 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. 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.
