UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 11-1954
In Re: JANSE ELIOT COOKE,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (1:10-cv-00156-LPA)
Submitted: March 13, 2012 Decided: April 4, 2012
Before NIEMEYER, DUNCAN, and KEENAN, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Janse Eliot Cooke, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Janse Eliot Cooke petitions for a writ of mandamus,
alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his 28
U.S.C. § 2254 (2006) 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 has
recently ruled on Cooke’s petition. Accordingly, although we
grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, 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 the court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
PETITION DENIED
