UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 11-1136

In Re: RAFAEL VALDERRAMA, Petitioner.

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (1:07-cr-00200-NCT-3; 1:09-cv-00618-NCT-WWD)

Submitted: July 19, 2011 Decided: August 11, 2011

Before WILKINSON, NIEMEYER, and SHEDD, Circuit Judges.

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Rafael Valderrama, Petitioner Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM: Rafael Valderrama petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2011) 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 has recently resolved Valderrama’s § 2255 motion. Accordingly, because the district court has decided Valderrama’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 the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

PETITION DENIED
