    IN RE: Robert BOVE, Petitioner.
    No. 17-1870
    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted: September 28, 2017
    Decided: October 2, 2017
    Robert Bove, Petitioner Pro Se.
    Before WILKINSON, MOTZ, and KING, Circuit Judges.
   Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Robert Bove petitions for a writ of mam damus, alleging that the district court has unduly delayed acting on his 28 U.S.C. § 2255' (2012) motion, as well as his pro se motion for discovery. Bove seeks an order from this court directing the district court to act, and he has filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis. Our review of the district court’s docket reveals that the district court recently denied Bove’s motions. Accordingly, although we grant Bove’s application to proceed in forma pau-peris, we deny the mandamus petition as moot. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

PETITION DENIED
