In re: Joseph Freeman ( 2023 )

USCA4 Appeal: 23-1682 Doc: 9 Filed: 08/24/2023 Pg: 1 of 2 UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 23-1682 In re: JOSEPH FREEMAN, Petitioner. On Petition for Writ of Mandamus to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Greenbelt. (8:03-cr-00194-DKC-2) Submitted: August 17, 2023 Decided: August 24, 2023 Before WYNN and HEYTENS, Circuit Judges, and FLOYD, Senior Circuit Judge. Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion. Joseph Freeman, Petitioner Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. USCA4 Appeal: 23-1682 Doc: 9 Filed: 08/24/2023 Pg: 2 of 2 PER CURIAM: Joseph Freeman petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district court has unduly delayed acting on his motion for a sentence reduction under the First Step Act. 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 granted in part and denied in part the motion on August 11, 2023. Accordingly, because the district court has recently decided Freeman’s case, 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
