In re: Bennett ( 2010 )

UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 10-2026
In Re: TERRY JACKSON BENNETT,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.
(3:04-cr-00315-RJC-1; 3:08-cv-00410-RJC)
Submitted: December 16, 2010 Decided: December 22, 2010
Before GREGORY, DUNCAN, and DAVIS, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Terry Jackson Bennett, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Terry Jackson Bennett petitions for a writ of
mandamus, alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting
on his 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2010) 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 has denied Bennett’s § 2255 motion. Accordingly, because
the district court has recently decided Bennett’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
