UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 09-1120
In Re: J. HAROLD SMITH,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.
(8:85-cr-00166-GRA-1)
Submitted: May 21, 2009 Decided: May 28, 2009
Before MOTZ, TRAXLER, and AGEE, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
J. Harold Smith, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
J. Harold Smith petitions for a writ of mandamus
seeking an order compelling the district court to rule on his
motion and seeking recusal of the district court judge.
Our review of the district court’s docket sheet
reveals that the court has ruled on Smith’s motion.
Accordingly, because the district court recently decided Smith’s
case, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus 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
