UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 21-1902

In re: DAVID L. TURNER, Petitioner.

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (5:19-cv-00068-MR)

Submitted: September 28, 2021 Decided: October 7, 2021

Before THACKER, HARRIS, and QUATTLEBAUM, Circuit Judges.

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

David L. Turner, Petitioner Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM: David L. Turner petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district court has unduly delayed acting on his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition. 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 Turner’s petition on September 7, 2021. Turner v. Hooks, No. 5:19- cv-00068-MR (W.D.N.C. Sept. 7, 2021). Accordingly, because the district court has recently decided Turner’s case, 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
