UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 11-1180
In re: EARL SPENCER BOYCE, JR.,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus (1:08-cv-00535-MR;
1:06-cr-00020)
Submitted: September 22, 2011 Decided: October 3, 2011
Before GREGORY, DUNCAN, and SHEDD, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Earl Spencer Boyce, Jr., Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Earl Spencer Boyce, Jr., petitions for a writ of
mandamus, alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting
on his 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2011) motion. 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 entered an order denying Boyce’s motion. Accordingly,
because the district court has recently decided Boyce’s case, we
deny the mandamus petition as moot. We grant leave to proceed
in forma pauperis. We dispense with oral argument because the
facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the
materials before the court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
PETITION DENIED
