UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 14-1628

In Re: JERMAINE BELL,

Petitioner.

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (1:06-cr-00179-RDB-2; 1:11-cv-01086-RDB)

Submitted: February 5, 2015 Decided: February 10, 2015

Before WILKINSON, DUNCAN, and AGEE, Circuit Judges.

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Jermaine Bell, Petitioner Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Jermaine Bell petitions for a writ of mandamus,

alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his

Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) motion for reconsideration of that court’s

denial of Bell’s

(2012) 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 denied Bell’s motion on February 2, 2015. Accordingly,

because the district court has recently decided Bell’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 this court and argument would not aid the

decisional process.

PETITION DENIED
