In re: THOMAS DONNELL SIFFORD, Petitioner.
Thomas Donnell Sifford, Petitioner Pro Se.
UNPUBLISHED On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (3:07-cr-00097-RJC-1; 3:14-cv-00001-RJC) Before WILKINSON and NIEMEYER, Circuit Judges, and DAVIS, Senior Circuit Judge. Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion. Thomas Donnell Sifford, Petitioner Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:
Thomas Donnell Sifford petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his motion to amend his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2012) motion. 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 denied Sifford's motion on November 20, 2014. Accordingly, because the district court has recently decided Sifford's 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 this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
PETITION DENIED
