UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 21-1313
In re: MICHAEL RANKINS,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (2:14-cr-00003-FL-1; 2:20-cv-00017-FL)
Submitted: July 20, 2021 Decided: July 22, 2021
Before WILKINSON, AGEE, and DIAZ, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Michael Rankins, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Michael Rankins petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district court
has unduly delayed in ruling on his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion. He seeks an order from this
court directing the district court to act. The present record does not reveal undue delay in
the district court. Accordingly, we 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
