UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 20-1146
In re: BLAKE SANDLAIN,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (1:19-cv-00072)
Submitted: July 21, 2020 Decided: July 23, 2020
Before AGEE, DIAZ, and HARRIS, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Blake Sandlain, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Blake Sandlain petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district court has
unduly delayed acting on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2018) petition. He seeks an order from
this court directing the district court to act. Our review of the district court’s docket reveals
that on February 24, and March 16, 2020, respectively, the district court entered orders
dismissing Sandlain’s § 2241 petition and denying his Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) motion.
Accordingly, because the district court has recently decided Sandlain’s case, we deny the
mandamus petition as moot. 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
