In Re: Fort v. ( 2008 )

UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 08-2034
In Re: DENNIS E. FORT,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.
(5:08-cv-00006-FPS-JSK)
Submitted: December 11, 2008 Decided: December 15, 2008
Before NIEMEYER, DUNCAN, and AGEE, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Dennis E. Fort, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Dennis E. Fort petitions for a writ of mandamus,
alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his 28
U.S.C. § 2241 (2000) motion. He seeks an order from this court
directing the district court to act. Our review of the district
court’s docket sheet reveals that the district court denied
Fort’s § 2241 petition in part, construed the remainder as a
writ of error coram nobis, and transferred the case to the
United States District Court for the Eastern District of North
Carolina. Accordingly, because the district court has recently
decided Fort’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 the court and argument would
not aid the decisional process.
PETITION DENIED
