IN RE: Jimmie WASHINGTON (2021)

United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.

IN RE: Jimmie WASHINGTON, a/k/a Jim Washington, Petitioner.

No. 21-1045

Decided: March 23, 2021

Before WILKINSON and RICHARDSON, Circuit Judges, and SHEDD, Senior Circuit Judge.

Jimmie Washington, Petitioner Pro Se.

Jimmie Washington petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district court has unduly delayed acting on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. 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 dismissed Washington's second amended complaint on January 28, 2021. Accordingly, because the district court has recently decided Washington's case, we deny the mandamus petition and amended 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Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
