In Re: Jones ( 2010 )

UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 10-1170
In Re: SAMUEL TIJUAN JONES,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (4:08-cv-03180-HFF-TER)
Submitted: June 1, 2010 Decided: June 10, 2010
Before GREGORY, SHEDD, and KEENAN, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Samuel Tijuan Jones, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Samuel Tijuan Jones petitions for a writ of mandamus,
seeking an order directing the magistrate judge to rule on
Jones’ 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2006) motion. The magistrate judge
issued his report and recommendation prior to Jones’ petition
for writ of mandamus, and the district court has subsequently
denied Jones’ § 2241 petition. Accordingly, although we grant
leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we deny Jones’ 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
