UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 08-1188
In Re: MAURICE BROWN,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.
(3:97-cr-00126-FDW-1)
Submitted: May 29, 2008 Decided: June 4, 2008
Before TRAXLER, GREGORY and SHEDD, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Maurice Brown, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Maurice Brown petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging
the district court has unduly delayed acting on his petition for
writ of error coram nobis, in which he claimed he had received
ineffective assistance of counsel. He seeks an order from this
court directing the district court to act. Our review of the
district court docket sheet reveals that Brown has since been
provided with new counsel. Accordingly, because the district court
has provided Brown with the relief requested in his coram nobis
petition, 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
