    The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit denied Timothy Governor Alexander's petition for a writ of mandamus. Alexander had alleged that the district court unduly delayed acting on his 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 motion. However, the Court of Appeals found that the district court had recently dismissed Alexander's § 2255 motion on November 20, 2012, rendering the mandamus petition moot. The Court of Appeals granted Alexander leave to proceed in forma pauperis and dispensed with oral argument.
