    The document is a court order from the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit denying William Hamilton's petition for a writ of mandamus. Hamilton claimed there was undue delay by the district court in ruling on his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion. However, the Government noted that the district court had recently entered an order disposing of several motions and appointing counsel to consider one of Hamilton's claims. As such, the Fourth Circuit found Hamilton's petition for mandamus to be moot and denied it.

    criminal proceedings remain pending. Those motions were disposed
    of by virtue of the criminal judgment.
