UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 16-1643

In Re: ALEXANDER OTIS MATTHEWS,

Petitioner.

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (1:11-cr-00087-LO-1; 1:11-cr-00348-LO-1; 1:12-cv-00132-LO)

Submitted: October 13, 2016 Decided: October 17, 2016

Before NIEMEYER, DUNCAN, and WYNN, Circuit Judges.

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Alexander Otis Matthews, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Alexander Matthews petitions for a writ of mandamus,

alleging that the district court has unduly delayed in ruling on

his

(2012) motion after remand. He seeks an

order from this court directing the district court to act. We

find the present record does not reveal undue delay in the

district court. Accordingly, we grant leave to proceed in forma

pauperism, deny Matthews’ motion for recusal and judicial

notice, and deny the mandamus petition. 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
