UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 15-7200

In re: DANNY MERRIWEATHER, JR., Petitioner.

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (3:12-cr-00016-1)

Submitted: October 15, 2015 Decided: October 20, 2015

Before WILKINSON, AGEE, and HARRIS, Circuit Judges.

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Danny Merriweather, Jr., Petitioner Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM: Danny Merriweather, Jr., petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his motion for a sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (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 granted relief on Merriweather’s motion in an order entered on August 21, 2015.

Accordingly, because the district court has recently decided Merriweather’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
