UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 16-1643
In Re: ALEXANDER OTIS MATTHEWS,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.
(1:11-cr-00087-LO-1; 1:11-cr-00348-LO-1; 1:12-cv-00132-LO)
Submitted: October 13, 2016 Decided: October 17, 2016
Before NIEMEYER, DUNCAN, and WYNN, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Alexander Otis Matthews, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Alexander Matthews petitions for a writ of mandamus,
alleging that the district court has unduly delayed in ruling on
his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2012) motion after remand. He seeks an
order from this court directing the district court to act. We
find the present record does not reveal undue delay in the
district court. Accordingly, we grant leave to proceed in forma
pauperism, deny Matthews’ motion for recusal and judicial
notice, and deny the mandamus petition. 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
