UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 12-1140
In Re: HARRY JAMES WILLIAMS,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.
(8:10-cr-00102-DKC-2; 8:11-cv-00950-DKC)
Submitted: April 20, 2012 Decided: May 3, 2012
Before DAVIS, KEENAN, and FLOYD, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Harry James Williams, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Harry James Williams petitions for a writ of mandamus,
alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his
motion to vacate, set aside, or correct his sentence under 28
U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2011). 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
the motion on March 21, 2012. Accordingly, because the district
court has recently decided Williams’ motion, we deny the
mandamus petition as moot. We also deny Williams’ pending
motion for a certificate of appealability without prejudice to
his ability to re-file it in his direct appeal from the district
court’s denial of his § 2255 motion. 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
