UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 13-1498
In Re: ROBERT EVERTON RUSHIE,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.
(1:00-cr-00396-NCT-1)
Submitted: July 10, 2013 Decided: July 18, 2013
Before NIEMEYER, SHEDD, and AGEE, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Robert Everton Rushie, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Robert Everton Rushie petitions for a writ of
mandamus, alleging the district court has unduly delayed in
acting on his November 23, 2011 motion for reduction of sentence
and appointment of counsel. He seeks an order from this court
directing the district court to act. Our review of the district
court’s docket reveals that the district court denied Rushie’s
motion by order entered on May 30, 2013. Accordingly, because
the district court has recently denied Rushie’s motion, 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 this court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
PETITION DENIED
