FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 04-7935
In Re: WENDELL EDWARD BETANCOURT,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (CR-01-25)
Submitted: March 25, 2005 Decided: April 12, 2005
Before NIEMEYER, TRAXLER, and KING, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Wendell Edward Betancourt, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Wendell Edward Betancourt petitions for writ of mandamus,
alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his motion
for recusal. He seeks an order from this court directing the
district court to act. The district court denied Betancourt’s
motion for recusal on December 13, 2004. Accordingly, because the
district court has acted on Betancourt’s motion, we deny his
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
