UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT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Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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
