In Re: Gatewood ( 2010 )

UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 10-1167
In Re: MITCHELL GATEWOOD,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (3:08-cv-00182-RJC)
Submitted: September 29, 2010 Decided: November 16, 2010
Before NIEMEYER, GREGORY, and KEENAN, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Mitchell Gatewood, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Mitchell Gatewood petitions for a writ of mandamus,
alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his 28
U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2010) motion. He seeks an order
from this court directing the district court to act. Our review
of the district court’s docket reveals that, on September 13,
2010, the district court entered an order denying relief on
Gatewood’s § 2255 motion. Accordingly, because the district
court has recently decided Gatewood’s case, 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
