IN RE: Raymond Edward CHESTNUT (2019)

United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.

IN RE: Raymond Edward CHESTNUT, a/k/a Snoop, a/k/a Ray, Petitioner.

No. 19-1796

Decided: November 25, 2019

Before KEENAN and DIAZ, Circuit Judges, and SHEDD, Senior Circuit Judge.

Raymond Edward Chestnut, Petitioner Pro Se.

Raymond Edward Chestnut filed a petition for writ of mandamus seeking an order compelling the district court to act on his May 31, 2019, motion for reconsideration of the district court's order holding that Chestnut was not entitled to a full resentencing hearing under § 404 of the First Step Act of 2018 (“First Step Act”), Pub. L. No. 115-391, § 404, 132 Stat. 5194. Our review of the district court's docket reveals that the district court denied Chestnut's motion for reconsideration on August 1, 2019. Accordingly, although we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, 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

PER CURIAM:

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
