In Re: Danny Merriweather, Jr. v. ( 2015 )

UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 15-7200
In re: DANNY MERRIWEATHER, JR.,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.
(3:12-cr-00016-1)
Submitted: October 15, 2015 Decided: October 20, 2015
Before WILKINSON, AGEE, and HARRIS, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Danny Merriweather, Jr., Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Danny Merriweather, Jr., petitions for a writ of mandamus,
alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his
motion for a sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2)
(2012). 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 granted relief on
Merriweather’s motion in an order entered on August 21, 2015.
Accordingly, because the district court has recently decided
Merriweather’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 this court and argument would
not aid the decisional process.
PETITION DENIED
