UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 16-1105

In Re: ANDRE D. WHITFIELD, Petitioner.

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (3:15-cv-00441-HEH-RCY)

Submitted: April 4, 2016 Decided: April 13, 2016

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

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Andre D. Whitfield, Petitioner Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM: Andre D. Whitfield filed a petition for writ of mandamus, seeking an order directing the district court to issue a ruling on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2012) petition. The district court issued its final order in the § 2241 action on February 19, 2016. 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 the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

PETITION DENIED
