FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 09-7217
GEORGE W. GANTT-EL,
Petitioner - Appellant,
v.
RICKY ANDERSON,
Respondent - Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle
District of North Carolina, at Greensboro. Donald P. Dietrich,
Magistrate Judge. (1:09-cv-00040-UA-DPD)
Submitted: November 19, 2009 Decided: December 2, 2009
Before MOTZ, GREGORY, and SHEDD, Circuit Judges.
Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
George W. Gantt-El, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
George W. Gantt-El seeks to appeal the district
court’s orders (1) denying him leave to proceed in forma
pauperis in his action filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254(2006), and ordering him to pay the $5 filing fee, and
(2) granting him an extension of time to pay the fee. Our
review of the district court docket sheet and Gantt-El’s
informal brief on appeal reveals that the filing fee was paid on
June 16, 2009. Accordingly, because Gantt-El has paid the
filing fee, we deny his motion for a certificate of
appealability and dismiss the appeal as moot. We deny leave to
proceed in forma pauperis on appeal and deny Gantt-El’s motion
for judicial notice. 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.
DISMISSED
