UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 10-1904

In Re: WILLIAM ALFRED PRESCOD, JR.,

Petitioner.

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (5:09-cr-000029-RLV-1)

Submitted: December 16, 2010 Decided: December 22, 2010

Before GREGORY, DUNCAN, and DAVIS, Circuit Judges.

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

William Alfred Prescod, Jr., Petitioner Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

William Alfred Prescod, Jr., petitions for a writ of

mandamus, alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting

on his pending motions. 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 Prescod’s

motions on October 18, 2010. Accordingly, because the district

court has recently decided Prescod’s case, we deny the mandamus

petition as moot. We also deny Prescod’s motion for appointment

of counsel. 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
