UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 10-1845

In Re: RALPH D. DAVIS,

Petitioner.

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (1:07-cr-00254-TSE-1)

Submitted: November 4, 2010 Decided: November 22, 2010

Before WILKINSON, MOTZ, and KING, Circuit Judges.

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Ralph D. Davis, Petitioner Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Ralph D. Davis petitions for a writ of mandamus,

alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his

motion to unseal a search warrant. He seeks an order from this

court directing the district court to act. On November 1, 2010,

the district court issued an order unsealing the affidavit in

support of the search warrant, the application for the search

warrant, and the search warrant itself. Accordingly, because

the district court has recently resolved the motion in question,

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
