FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 17-2342
In re: VAN WILLIAM SAVAGE, II,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.
(1:13-cr-00484-CCE-1; 1:16-cv-00622-CCE-LPA)
Submitted: April 12, 2018 Decided: April 27, 2018
Before WILKINSON, FLOYD, and THACKER, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Van William Savage, II, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Van William Savage, II, petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging the magistrate
judge has unduly delayed acting on his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2012) motion. He seeks an
order from this court directing the magistrate judge to act. Our review of the district
court’s docket reveals that the magistrate judge recently issued a recommendation that
Savage’s § 2255 motion be denied. Accordingly, because the magistrate judge has acted
in Savage’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
