UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 01-6576
In Re: RODNEY EUGENE SMITH,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (CA-01-239-1)
Submitted: May 17, 2001 Decided: May 29, 2001
Before WIDENER, NIEMEYER, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Rodney Eugene Smith, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Rodney Eugene Smith filed a petition for a writ of mandamus
seeking to have this court issue an order directing the district
court to act on his habeas corpus petition. Because the district
court recently dismissed Smith’s petition for habeas corpus, 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 the court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
PETITION DENIED
