UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 16-2319

In re: SAMUEL B. JACOBS,

Petitioner.

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (4:10-cr-00149-MSD-TEM-1; 4:15-cv-00056-MSD)

Submitted: January 17, 2017 Decided: January 19, 2017

Before NIEMEYER, TRAXLER, and KING, Circuit Judges.

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Samuel B. Jacobs, Petitioner Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Samuel B. Jacobs petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging

the district court has unduly delayed acting on his

(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 the § 2255

motion on December 6, 2016. Accordingly, because the district

court has recently decided Jacobs’ motion, we 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
