    In re: George Anthony DEMPSEY, Petitioner.
    No. 04-7231.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted: Sept. 16, 2004.
    Decided: Sept. 24, 2004.
    George Anthony Dempsey, Petitioner pro se.
    Before LUTTIG, KING, and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges.
    Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c).
   PER CURIAM:

George Anthony Dempsey petitions for writ of mandamus, alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2000). 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 Dempsey’s motion for 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
