In Re: Perkins

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 10-1647 In Re: VICTOR PERKINS, Petitioner. On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (5:92-hc-00654-BR) Submitted: July 22, 2010 Decided: July 30, 2010 Before NIEMEYER, GREGORY, and SHEDD, Circuit Judges. Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion. Victor Perkins, Petitioner Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Victor Perkins petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his May 3, 2010 motion to vacate and dismiss the civil commitment. 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 the motion on May 24, 2010. Accordingly, because the district court has recently decided Perkins’ 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 the court and argument would not aid the decisional process. PETITION DENIED 2
