UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 14-1645

In re: GARY DARNELL WILLIAMS,

Petitioner.

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (3:10-cr-00105-REP-2)

Submitted: November 18, 2014 Decided: December 2, 2014

Before NIEMEYER and GREGORY, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Gary Darnell Williams, Petitioner Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Gary Darnell Williams petitions for a writ of

mandamus, alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting

on his motion filed pursuant to

(2012). 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 ruled on Williams’ § 2255 motion by order entered

August 5, 2014. Accordingly, because the district court has

recently decided Williams’ 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

this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

PETITION DENIED
