    Andre Whitfield filed a petition for a writ of mandamus asking the court to order the district court to rule on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition. The appeals court denied the mandamus petition as moot because the district court had issued a final ruling on Whitfield's § 2241 petition on February 19, 2016, so there was no longer a need for the appeals court to order the district court to rule.

    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS


    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

    No. 16-1105

    In Re:

    ANDRE D. WHITFIELD,
    Petitioner.

    On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.


    (3:15-cv-00441-HEH-RCY)

    Submitted:

    April 4, 2016

    Decided:

    April 13, 2016

    Before KING and GREGORY, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior


    Circuit Judge.

    Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

    Andre D. Whitfield, Petitioner Pro Se.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

    PER CURIAM:
    Andre D. Whitfield filed a petition for writ of mandamus,
    seeking an order directing the district court to issue a ruling
    on his 28 U.S.C. 2241 (2012) petition.

    The district court

    issued its final order in the 2241 action on February 19,


    2016.

    Accordingly, we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis

    and deny the mandamus petition as moot.

    We dispense with oral

    argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately


    presented in the materials before the court and argument would
    not aid the decisional process.
    PETITION DENIED
