In re: Larry Cochran

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 21-1829 In re: LARRY COCHRAN, Petitioner. On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (1:21-cv-00220-JKB) Submitted: September 9, 2021 Decided: September 13, 2021 Before MOTZ, KING, and WYNN, Circuit Judges. Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion. Larry Cochran, Petitioner Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Larry Cochran petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district court has unduly delayed acting on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition. He seeks an order from this court directing the district court to act. Our review of the district court’s docket reveals that the district court denied Cochran’s § 2241 petition on August 3, 2021. Accordingly, because the district court has recently decided Cochran’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 2
