USCA4 Appeal: 26-1318 Doc: 9 Filed: 06/24/2026 Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM: Solomon Thomas petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district court has unduly delayed in ruling on his emergency motion to compel agency action in his civil case. 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 recently took significant action on Thomas’s motion. Accordingly, we 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

* Thomas filed a motion to expedite our review of his petition. We deny that motion.
