    In Re: Stanley Lorenzo WILLIAMS, Petitioner.
    No. 08-2130.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted: March 19, 2009.
    Decided: April 6, 2009.
    Stanley Lorenzo Williams, Petitioner Pro Se.
    Before MICHAEL, KING, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges.
   Petition denied by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Stanley Lorenzo Williams petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2006) petition. He seeks an order from this court directing the district court to act. Our review of the docket sheet reveals that the district court has entered final judgment dismissing Williams’ petition. Accordingly, because the district court has recently decided Williams’ case, we deny the mandamus petition as moot. 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.
