UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 96-610
In Re: OTTO WITHERSPOON,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (CA-91-288-2)
Submitted: December 19, 1996 Decided: December 30, 1996
Before ERVIN and MOTZ, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit
Judge.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Otto Witherspoon, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Otto Witherspoon brought this petition for mandamus relief
seeking an order compelling the United States District Court for
the District of South Carolina to rule on his petition under Fed.
R. Crim. P. 6(e)(3)(c)(ii) for disclosure of the proceedings of the
grand jury. In the alternative, Witherspoon seeks a writ of prohi-
bition preventing his further prosecution. Because the district
court docket sheet reflects that Witherspoon's petition was granted
on August 6, 1996, we conclude that Witherspoon has already re-
ceived the relief he seeks. Accordingly, we deny the petition for
writ of mandamus or prohibition. 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 deci-
sional process.
PETITION DENIED
