UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 20-1124
In re: JOSEPH HUSSELL; A.H.,
Petitioners.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (2:19-cv-00101)
Submitted: March 10, 2020 Decided: March 13, 2020
Before NIEMEYER and AGEE, Circuit Judges, and SHEDD, Senior Circuit Judge.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Joseph Hussell; A.H., Petitioners Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Joseph Hussell, on behalf of himself and a minor, A.H., petitions for a writ of
mandamus, alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his petition for habeas
corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2018). He seeks an order from this court directing the
district court to act. Our review of the district court’s docket reveals that the magistrate
judge assigned to Hussell’s case entered his proposed findings and recommendation
regarding Hussell’s petition for habeas corpus on February 14, 2020. Accordingly, because
the district court has acted in Hussell’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
