UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 09-1327
In Re: ROBERT SAWYER,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (3:07-cr-00175-RLW-1)
Submitted: September 14, 2009 Decided: September 24, 2009
Before WILKINSON, MICHAEL, and SHEDD, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Robert Sawyer, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Robert Sawyer petitions for a writ of mandamus,
alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his
motion filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2006). He seeks an order
from this court directing the district court to act. Our review
of the docket sheet reveals that on April 8, 2009, the district
court filed a memorandum opinion and entered an order denying
the § 2255 motion and dismissing with prejudice. Accordingly,
because the district court has recently decided Sawyer’s case,
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
