  •                               UNPUBLISHED
    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
    No. 14-2252
    In re:   THOMAS DONNELL SIFFORD,
    Petitioner.
    On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (3:07-cr-00097-RJC-1;
    3:14-cv-00001-RJC)
    Submitted:   January 15, 2015               Decided:   January 20, 2015
    Before WILKINSON and NIEMEYER, Circuit Judges, and DAVIS, Senior
    Circuit Judge.
    Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    Thomas Donnell Sifford, Petitioner Pro Se.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
    PER CURIAM:
    Thomas    Donnell    Sifford    petitions      for   a    writ    of
    mandamus, alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting
    on his motion to amend his 
    28 U.S.C. § 2255
     (2012) motion.                      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 Sifford’s motion on November 20, 2014.
    Accordingly,    because     the   district   court    has   recently    decided
    Sifford’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 this court and argument would
    not aid the decisional process.
    PETITION DENIED
