UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 02-6234
In Re: JAMES M. DEBARDELEBEN,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (CA-02-72-AM)
Submitted: March 28, 2002 Decided: May 14, 2002
Before WILKINS and KING, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior
Circuit Judge.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
James M. DeBardeleben, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
On February 11, 2002, James M. DeBardeleben filed this
petition for a writ of mandamus seeking an order directing the
district court to act on his January 14, 2002, civil rights
complaint filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2001).
He also sought an order directing the district court to rule on his
motion for a temporary restraining order. The district court
entered an order dismissing DeBardeleben’s complaint and denying a
temporary restraining order on March 13, 2002. Because the
district court has disposed of DeBardeleben’s complaint and closed
the case on its docket, DeBardeleben’s mandamus petition is moot.
Accordingly, we deny DeBardeleben’s petition for initial hearing en
banc, deny his motion for an extension of time nunc pro tunc, and
deny the petition for writ of mandamus. 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
