UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 12-2497

In re: ALTON KENT GREEN,

Petitioner.

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (4:00-cr-00046-H-1; 4:12-cv-00167-H)

Submitted: February 21, 2013 Decided: February 25, 2013

Before AGEE and DAVIS, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Alton Kent Green, Petitioner Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Alton Kent Green petitions for a writ of mandamus,

alleging that the district court has unduly delayed in ruling on

his

(West Supp. 2012) motion. He seeks an

order from this court directing the district court to act. The

district court granted Green’s § 2255 motion on January 7, 2013.

Accordingly, although we grant leave to proceed in forma

pauperis, we deny the mandamus petition as moot. We dispense

with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are

adequately presented in the materials before this court and

argument would not aid the decisional process.

PETITION DENIED
