UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 12-2278

In re: GARY BUTERRA WILLIAMS,

Petitioner.

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (No. 3:11-cv-00125-HEH)

Submitted: February 26, 2013 Decided: February 28, 2013

Before MOTZ, WYNN, and DIAZ, Circuit Judges.

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Gary Buterra Williams, Petitioner Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Gary Buterra Williams petitions for a writ of mandamus

seeking an order compelling the district court to act on his

petition for removal of a state prosecution. Since Williams

filed his petition, however, the district court entered an order

remanding the prosecution to state court. See Buterra v.

Circuit Court for City of Suffolk, No. 3:11-cv-00125-HEH (E.D.

Va. Dec. 7, 2012). We therefore deny Williams’ 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
