UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 18-2336

In re: RALPH MARLOW,

Petitioner.

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (2:15-cr-00018-JPJ-RSB-11)

Submitted: January 22, 2019 Decided: January 24, 2019

Before MOTZ, KEENAN, and FLOYD, Circuit Judges.

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Ralph Marlow, Petitioner Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Ralph Marlow petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that 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 motion on November 7, 2018. Accordingly,

because the district court has recently decided Marlow’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
