IN RE: Van William SAVAGE (2018)

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

PER CURIAM:
