OPINION
PER CURIAM:
In No. 91-6560 James Joseph Owens appeals from the district court's order refusing relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (1988). Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court in No. 91-6560. United States v. Owens, Nos. CR78-17, CA-90-422-CIV-5 (E.D.N.C. Oct. 10, 1990 and Feb. 14, 1991).
Owens seeks mandamus relief in No. 91-8010. The record reveals that Owens has obtained the relief he sought in his mandamus petition. Accordingly, though we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis in No. 91-8010, we deny the 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.
