UNPUBLISHED

UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 10-2035

In re: STANLEY LORENZO WILLIAMS,

Petitioner.

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (1:03-cv-00299-TDS-WWD)

Submitted: August 4, 2011 Decided: August 11, 2011

Before KING, GREGORY, and DAVIS, Circuit Judges.

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Stanley Lorenzo Williams, Petitioner Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

Stanley Lorenzo Williams filed a petition for writ of

mandamus in which he complains of delay in the district court’s

response to a post-judgment filing in his 28 U.S.C. § 2254

(2006) proceeding. After this Court initially misidentified the

delay about which Williams complained and denied the mandamus

petition, Williams filed a rehearing petition clarifying that he

was complaining that the district court had delayed responding

to his October 28, 2009, objections to an October 15, 2009, text

order issued by the magistrate judge. We granted Williams’

rehearing petition.

Our review of the district court’s docket reveals that

the district court recently entered an order adopting and

affirming the magistrate judge’s October 15, 2009, text order.

Accordingly, because the district court has acted on Williams’

objections to the magistrate judge’s text order, we deny the

mandamus petition as moot. Williams’ motions to expedite and to

amend are denied. 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
