UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 14-2068
In re: COYT BRYANT,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (4:06-cr-00035-H-1)
Submitted: April 29, 2015 Decided: May 8, 2015
Before WILKINSON, NIEMEYER, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Coyt Bryant, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Coyt Bryant has petitioned this court for a writ of
mandamus. In his petition, Bryant asks this court to order the
district court to rule on his Fed. R. Civ. P. 60 motion.
To obtain mandamus relief, a petitioner must show that:
(1) he has a clear and indisputable right to the
relief sought; (2) the responding party has a clear
duty to do the specific act requested; (3) the act
requested is an official act or duty; (4) there are no
other adequate means to attain the relief he desires;
and (5) the issuance of the writ will effect right and
justice in the circumstances.
In re Braxton, 258 F.3d 250, 261 (4th Cir. 2001) (internal
quotation marks and citation omitted). We have considered
Bryant’s petition and the district court docket sheet and find
that the district court has recently disposed of Bryant’s
motion. Accordingly, although we grant leave to proceed in
forma pauperis, we deny the mandamus petition. 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
