In re: Walter Jacob DAVIS, Petitioner.
    No. 04-6846.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted Sept. 16, 2004.
    Decided Sept. 28, 2004.
    Walter Jacob Davis, 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    Petition denied by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.
    
      Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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:

Walter Jacob Davis petitions for writ of mandamus, alleging the district court has unduly delayed in acting upon his Fed. R.Civ.P. 60(b) motion. 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 Davis’ motion 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
