UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 08-2382
In Re: AARON POSLEY,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (1:08-cr-00295-LO-1)
Submitted: February 12, 2009 Decided: March 11, 2009
Before NIEMEYER, MOTZ, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Aaron Posley, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Aaron Posley petitions for a writ of mandamus,
alleging the district court has unduly delayed adjudicating his
appeal from a judgment entered in a criminal case by a
magistrate judge. He seeks an order from this court directing
the district court to act. Our review of the docket sheet
reveals that the district court issued its final decision on
December 23, 2008, shortly after Posley filed his mandamus
petition. Accordingly, because the district court has recently
decided Posley’s case, 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
