UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 17-1480
In re: DONALD STUART KOONTZ,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (1:13-cr-00478-TDS-1; 1:15-cv-00344-TDS-JLW)
Submitted: May 25, 2017 Decided: May 31, 2017
Before MOTZ, THACKER, and HARRIS, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Donald Stuart Koontz, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Donald Stuart Koontz petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging the district court
has unduly delayed acting on his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2012) 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 denied Koontz’s motion on April 28, 2017. Accordingly, because the
district court has recently decided Koontz’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 this court and
argument would not aid the decisional process.
PETITION DENIED
