In re: ALEXANDER OTIS MATTHEWS,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus
(Nos. 1:11-cr-00087-LO-1; 1:11-cr-00348-LO-1; 1:12-cv-00132-LO)
Submitted: March 29, 2018 Decided: April 2, 2018
Before AGEE and DIAZ, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Alexander Otis Matthews, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Alexander Otis Matthews petitions for a writ of mandamus. He seeks an order
from this court directing the district court to act on this court’s judgment vacating the
district court’s order and remanding. Our review of the district court’s docket reveals
that the district court entered an order on December 12, 2017, directing the Government
to respond to Matthew’s modified motion for reconsideration. The Government
responded on February 8, 2018, and Matthews filed a reply on February 20, 2018.
Accordingly, because the district court has recently acted on Matthews’ 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
