UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 16-1303
In re: MICHAEL F. HARRIS,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (3:12-cr-00170-HEH-RCY-1)
Submitted: July 28, 2016 Decided: August 1, 2016
Before MOTZ and HARRIS, Circuit Judges, and DAVIS, Senior
Circuit Judge.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Michael F. Harris, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Michael F. Harris petitions for a writ of mandamus seeking
an order instructing the district court to grant summary
judgment on his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2012) motion due to the
Government’s delay in filing its answer. Our review of the
district court’s docket reveals that the district court entered
an order denying the § 2255 motion on May 10, 2016, and Harris
has appealed that order. Accordingly, because the district
court has recently decided Harris’ case, 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
