UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 05-7338
In Re: GERALD DAMONE HOPPER,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (CR-95-119)
Submitted: November 23, 2005 Decided: December 15, 2005
Before NIEMEYER and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior
Circuit Judge.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Gerald Damone Hopper, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Gerald Damone Hopper petitions for writ of mandamus,
alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his motion
filed under 18 U.S.C.A. § 3582(c)(2) (West 2000 & Supp. 2005). He
seeks an order from this court directing the district court to act.
Our review of the docket sheet reveals that the district court
granted Hopper’s motion on October 28, 2005. Accordingly, because
the district court has recently decided Hopper’s case, we deny the
mandamus petition as moot. We grant leave to proceed in forma
pauperis and 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
