In re: Michael Carter ( 2023 )

USCA4 Appeal: 23-1355 Doc: 8 Filed: 06/22/2023 Pg: 1 of 2 UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 23-1355 In re: MICHAEL KENNY CARTER, a/k/a Blaze, Petitioner. On Petition for Writ of Mandamus to the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Columbia. (3:17-cr-00351-JFA-1) Submitted: May 8, 2023 Decided: June 22, 2023 Before GREGORY, Chief Judge, and AGEE and RUSHING, Circuit Judges. Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion. Michael Kenny Carter, Petitioner Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. USCA4 Appeal: 23-1355 Doc: 8 Filed: 06/22/2023 Pg: 2 of 2 PER CURIAM: Michael Kenny Carter petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district court has unduly delayed in ruling on his motion to dismiss his criminal case for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. He seeks an order from this court directing the district court to act. Our review of the district court’s docket reveals that the district court denied the motion on May 2, 2023. Accordingly, because the district court has recently acted on Carter’s motion, we deny the mandamus petition as moot. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process. PETITION DENIED 2
