    William Penn Reavis, Sr. filed a petition for a writ of mandamus alleging undue delay by the district court in acting on his 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 motion. The appeals court reviewed the district court docket and found that the district court had recently taken action by dismissing several claims and ordering the government to respond. As such, the appeals court denied the mandamus petition as moot since the district court had now acted on the case.

    UNPUBLISHED

    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS


    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

    No. 10-1572

    In Re:

    WILLIAM PENN REAVIS, SR.,


    Petitioner.

    On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.

    Submitted:

    October 14, 2010

    (4:07-cr-00075-JBF-JEB-1)

    Decided:

    October 20, 2010

    Before MOTZ, KING, and DAVIS, Circuit Judges.

    Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

    William Penn Reavis, Sr., Petitioner Pro Se.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

    PER CURIAM:
    William

    Penn

    Reavis,

    Sr.,

    petitions

    for

    writ

    of

    mandamus, alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting


    on his 28 U.S.C.A. 2255 (West Supp 2010) motion.

    He seeks an

    order from this court directing the district court to act.

    Our

    review of the district courts docket reveals that the district


    court dismissed several claims and ordered the Government to
    respond.

    Accordingly, because the district court has recently

    taken action in Reaviss case, we deny the mandamus petition as


    moot.

    We grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis.

    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
