UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 03-7873
In re: KELVIN ANDRE SPOTTS,
Petitioner.
On Petition for a Writ of Mandamus
(CA-00-647-3; CR-98-47)
Submitted: December 22, 2003 Decided: January 9, 2004
Before WIDENER, MICHAEL, and KING, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Kelvin Andre Spotts, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Kelvin Andre Spotts petitions for a writ of mandamus,
alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his Fed.
R. Civ. P. 60(b) motion seeking reconsideration of the district
court’s denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000) motion. He seeks an
order from this court directing the district court to act. Our
review of the district court’s docket sheet reveals that the court
denied relief on December 5, 2003. Accordingly, because the
district court has recently ruled on Spotts’s motion, we deny the
mandamus petition as moot. We grant leave to proceed in forma
pauperis. 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
