UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 10-1586
In Re: THOMAS J. SAVOCA,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.
(2:60-cv-00572)
Submitted: June 24, 2010 Decided: June 30, 2010
Before DUNCAN, AGEE, and DAVIS, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Thomas J. Savoca, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Thomas J. Savoca petitions for a writ of mandamus,
alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his
Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) motion to alter or amend the judgment
denying relief on his 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2010)
motion. 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, on June 8, 2010, denied
Savoca’s motion to alter or amend the judgment. In light of
this recent ruling, 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
