Opinion
No. 07-7076.
Submitted: October 11, 2007.
Decided: October 17, 2007.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (1:06-cv-00069).
Marion Edward Pearson, Jr., Petitioner Pro Se.
Before MICHAEL and SHEDD, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.
Petition denied by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
Marion Edward Pearson, Jr., petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on a motion for summary judgment and a motion for judgment on the pleadings that he filed in his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2000) proceeding. He seeks an order from this court directing the district court to act. We find there has been no undue delay in the district court. Accordingly, although we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we deny the mandamus petition. 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.
