No. 00-2344

In Re: MICHAEL D. WILKINS, Petitioner.

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (99-34315-SCS)

Submitted: November 30, 2000 Decided: December 6, 2000

Before NIEMEYER, LUTTIG, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Michael D. Wilkins, Petitioner Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Michael D. Wilkins filed a motion to stay his bankruptcy pro- ceedings in the district court. He also filed a petition for a writ of mandamus seeking an order directing the bankruptcy court to rule on his objection to the amended proof of claim filed by James and Anzilia Murray. The bankruptcy court ruled on Wilkins’ objec- tion on October 19, 2000. Accordingly, we deny the motion for stay and the mandamus petition as moot. We also deny as moot the Murrays’ motion to dismiss the mandamus petition. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate- ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

PETITION DENIED
