UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 15-2126

In re: BILLY E. LUNSFORD, a/k/a Peg-leg, Petitioner.

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (2:10-cr-00182-1)

Submitted: January 14, 2016 Decided: January 19, 2016

Before AGEE, WYNN, and FLOYD, Circuit Judges.

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Billy E. Lunsford, Petitioner Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM: Billy E. Lunsford petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (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 Lunsford’s motion on December 4, 2015. Accordingly, because the district court has recently decided Lunsford’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
