UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 04-7183
In Re: RICKY LEE VANCE,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus
(CR-94-22)
Submitted: October 7, 2004 Decided: October 15, 2004
Before WIDENER, NIEMEYER, and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Ricky Lee Vance, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Ricky Lee Vance petitions for writ of mandamus, alleging
the district court has unduly delayed acting on his motion for
reduction in sentence filed pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 35. He
seeks an order from this court directing the district court to act.
Our review of the docket sheet reveals that the district court
dismissed Vance’s motion in an order filed on August 27, 2004.
Accordingly, because the district court has recently decided
Vance’s case, 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
