In re: Dennis Lyon ( 2020 )

UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 20-1511
In re: DENNIS JOE LYON,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.
(1:15-cr-00416-WO-3; 1:18-cv-00967-WO-JLW)
Submitted: September 24, 2020 Decided: September 28, 2020
Before HARRIS and RICHARDSON, Circuit Judges, and TRAXLER, Senior Circuit
Judge.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Dennis Joe Lyon, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Dennis Joe Lyon petitions for a writ of mandamus, seeking an order from this court
directing the district court to act on his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion. Our review of the district
court’s docket sheet reveals that the district court has dismissed Lyon’s § 2255 motion.
Accordingly, because the district court has recently decided Lyon’s case, we deny the
mandamus petition as moot. 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
