In Re: Joshua Anderson ( 2021 )

UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 20-1946
In re: JOSHUA ANDERSON,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (1:19-cv-00075-LO-TCB)
Submitted: January 29, 2021 Decided: February 8, 2021
Before WILKINSON, QUATTLEBAUM, and RUSHING, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Joshua Anderson, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Joshua Anderson petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district court
has unduly delayed acting on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition. He seeks an order from this
court directing the district court to act. Our review of the district court’s docket reveals
that on August 28, 2020, the district court dismissed Anderson’s petition with prejudice.
Anderson v. Bolster, No. 1:19-cv-00075-LO-TCB (E.D. Va. filed Aug. 27, 2020 & entered
Aug. 28, 2020). Accordingly, because the district court has dismissed Anderson’s § 2241
petition, we deny Anderson’s mandamus petition as moot. * See Incumaa v. Ozmint, 507
F.3d 281, 286 (4th Cir. 2007). 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
*
Anderson’s appeal of the district court’s dismissal order, Anderson v. Bolster,
No. 20-7707, remains pending before this court.
