UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 09-2058
In Re: NYRON JOEL NICHOLS,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (7:07-cr-00006)
Submitted: November 19, 2009 Decided: December 1, 2009
Before MOTZ, GREGORY, and SHEDD, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Nyron Joel Nichols, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Nyron Joel Nichols petitions for a writ of mandamus,
alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his
notice of appeal. He seeks an order from this court directing
the district court to act. Our review of the district court
docket sheet reveals that the district court found that his
notice of appeal was timely filed and directed the Clerk to
process the notice in the usual manner. In view of this order
by the district court, 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
