UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 15-2162

In re: DANIEL BROWN, a/k/a Daniel M. Brown,

Petitioner.

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (4:14-cv-03659-BHH)

Submitted: February 23, 2016 Decided: February 25, 2016

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

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Daniel Brown, Petitioner Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Daniel Brown petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging

unreasonable delay by the district court and seeking an order

directing the district court to act. Our review of the district

court’s docket sheet discloses that a final order was entered on

October 20, 2015, denying relief on Brown’s

(2012) petition and his motion to alter or amend the judgment.

Accordingly, we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis and

deny the mandamus petition as moot. 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
