UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 14-1652

In re: RONNIE D. RAINEY,

Petitioner.

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (5:10-cr-00199-D-1)

Submitted: October 31, 2014 Decided: November 6, 2014

Before GREGORY, DUNCAN, and DIAZ, Circuit Judges.

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Ronnie D. Rainey, Petitioner Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Ronnie D. Rainey petitions for a writ of mandamus,

alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on post-

judgment motions he filed in connection with the criminal

proceedings against him. 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 the

motions on October 29, 2014. Accordingly, because the district

court has recently disposed of Rainey’s motions, we deny the

mandamus petition as moot. We grant leave to proceed in forma

pauperis and deny Rainey’s motions to appoint counsel and for

summary remand. 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
