In re Michael McEVILY, Petitioner.
    No. 03-6518.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted June 23, 2003.
    Decided July 11, 2003.
    Michael McEvily, Petitioner Pro Se.
    Before MOTZ, TRAXLER, and SHEDD, Circuit Judges.
    Petition denied by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.
   PER CURIAM.

Michael McEvily petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint. He seeks an order from this court directing the district court to act. Although we find that mandamus relief is not warranted because the delay is not unreasonable, we deny the mandamus petition without prejudice to the filing of another mandamus petition if the district court does not act expeditiously. 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.
