Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. USCA4 Appeal: 22-1618 Doc: 11 Filed: 08/22/2022 Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM:

Anthony Gene Trappier petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district

court has unduly delayed acting on Trappier’s Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) motion to reopen his

proceedings under 28 U.S.C. § 2255. Trappier seeks an order from this court directing the

district court to act. Our review of the district court’s docket reveals that the court denied

the Rule 60(b) motion by order entered on July 21, 2022. Accordingly, because the district

court recently decided Trappier’s motion, we deny the mandamus petition as moot. 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
