UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 10-1582
In Re: DARRELL LAW, a/k/a B,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (1:08-cv-00171-IMK-DJJ-9)
Submitted: August 26, 2010 Decided: August 31, 2010
Before KING and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior
Circuit Judge.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Darrell Law, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Darrell Law petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging
the district court has unduly delayed acting on his motion to
vacate, set aside, or correct his sentence, filed pursuant to 28
U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2010). 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 denied
Law’s § 2255 motion on July 2, 2010. Accordingly, because the
district court has recently decided Law’s case, we deny the
mandamus petition as moot. Further, we dismiss as moot Law’s
motion for a certificate of appealability to appeal the district
court’s order, because that order is not presently before this
court. * 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 the
court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
PETITION DENIED
*
We note that Law filed a notice of appeal from the
district court’s order denying § 2255 relief.
