UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 15-1860
In Re: WILLIAM H. EVANS, JR.,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.
(1:15-cv-00138-AJT-JFA;
1:14-cv-01015-AJT-IDD)
Submitted: November 4, 2015 Decided: December 28, 2015
Before DUNCAN and DIAZ, Circuit Judges, and DAVIS, Senior
Circuit Judge.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
William H. Evans, Jr., Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
William H. Evans, Jr., petitions for a writ of mandamus,
alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his
complaint filed pursuant to Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents
of Fed. Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971), and his 28
U.S.C. § 2241 (2012) petition. He seeks an order from this
court directing the district court to act. Our review of the
district court’s dockets reveals that the district court has
dismissed his Bivens complaint and transferred his § 2241
petition to the district where he is currently in custody.
Accordingly, because the district court has recently acted
in Evans’ cases, we deny the mandamus petition as moot. We deny
his motion to order corrections officials to take certain
actions, and deny his petition for rehearing en banc without
prejudice to his right to refile the petition if he so chooses
within the time allowed. 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
