UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 19-2097
In re: WILLIAM DAWSON,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (5:18-hc-02303-BO)
Submitted: December 19, 2019 Decided: December 23, 2019
Before NIEMEYER, AGEE, and QUATTLEBAUM, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
William Dawson, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
William Dawson petitions for a writ of mandamus, asking that we direct the district
court to rule on his motion for release pending appeal. The district court’s docket indicates
that the district court recently denied as moot Dawson’s motion for release. Accordingly,
although we grant Dawson’s application to proceed in forma pauperis, we deny the
mandamus petition as moot. We further deny Dawson’s motion to remand. 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
