UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 20-2137
In re: KEENAN KESTER COFIELD, a/k/a Berri A. Wells,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (20-16090)
Submitted: February 18, 2021 Decided: February 22, 2021
Before NIEMEYER, KING, and FLOYD, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Keenan Kester Cofield, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Keenan Kester Cofield petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the
bankruptcy court has unduly delayed acting on multiple motions in relation to his Chapter
7 bankruptcy petition. He seeks an order from this court directing the bankruptcy court to
act on those motions and to stay his case pending the resolution of the motions and any
subsequent petitions. Our review of the bankruptcy court’s docket reveals that the court
denied the motions on November 13, 2020. Because the bankruptcy court has recently
ruled on Cofield’s motions, we deny as moot the portion of his mandamus petition seeking
an order directing the court to act and staying the case pending the resolution of the
motions. We also deny the portion of the mandamus petition seeking an order staying the
case pending the resolution of any subsequent petitions, as Cofield is not entitled to such
relief. See In re Murphy-Brown, LLC, 907 F.3d 788, 795 (4th Cir. 2018) (stating standard).
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
