UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 01-7936
In Re: JERRY SANDERS,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (CR-93-34-MU)
Submitted: December 26, 2001 Decided: January 15, 2002
Before MICHAEL, MOTZ, and TRAXLER, Circuit Judges.
Petition dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Jerry Sanders, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Jerry Sanders filed a petition for a writ of mandamus seeking
an order compelling the district court to rule on his Fed. R. Civ.
P. 60(b) motion and his subsequent “petition for ruling on the
merits.” We dismiss the petition as moot.
Our review of the district court’s docket sheet shows that the
court entered an order denying Sanders’ Rule 60(b) motion on May 4,
2001. The court dismissed as moot his “petition for ruling on the
merits” on November 26, 2001.
Accordingly, we dismiss Sanders’ petition for a writ of
mandamus as moot. Sanders’ request to proceed in forma pauperis is
granted. 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 DISMISSED
