UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 15-1684

In Re: DWIGHT AVON MAJOR, Petitioner.

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (5:12-hc-02098-D)

Submitted: October 30, 2015 Decided: November 18, 2015

Before KING, FLOYD, and HARRIS, Circuit Judges.

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Dwight Avon Major, Petitioner Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM: Dwight Avon Major petitions this court for a writ of mandamus, seeking an order directing his immediate release from prison. However, Major was released from prison on July 27, 2015. Thus, the mandamus petition is moot because Major has already obtained the relief he seeks. Accordingly, although we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we deny his petition for writ of mandamus. 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
