UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 08-1146
In Re: SAMUEL DEWITT MCCOTTER,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.
(5:01-cv-00100-H; 4:90-cr-00027-BO)
Submitted: November 20, 2008 Decided: December 19, 2008
Before MOTZ and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior
Circuit Judge.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Samuel DeWitt McCotter, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Samuel McCotter petitions for a writ of mandamus,
alleging that the district court has unduly delayed acting on
his motion for return of property. He seeks an order from this
court directing the district court to act. In response to an
order of this court, the district court filed a response
demonstrating that the district court denied the motion for
return of property in an order dated July 30, 2003, and filed on
August 1, 2003. Accordingly, because the district court has
ruled on the motion for return of property, 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
