USCA4 Appeal: 26-1247 Doc: 8 Filed: 04/14/2026 Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM: Mackie James Walker, Jr., petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district court has unduly delayed acting on his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motions to vacate. 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 relief on Walker’s § 2255 motions on March 31, 2026. Accordingly, because the district court has recently denied relief on Walker’s motions, 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
