Opinion

UNPUBLISHED

UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 10-1170

In Re: SAMUEL TIJUAN JONES,

Petitioner.

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (4:08-cv-03180-HFF-TER)

Submitted: June 1, 2010 Decided: June 10, 2010

Before GREGORY, SHEDD, and KEENAN, Circuit Judges.

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Samuel Tijuan Jones, Petitioner Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Samuel Tijuan Jones petitions for a writ of mandamus,

seeking an order directing the magistrate judge to rule on

Jones’ 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2006) motion. The magistrate judge

issued his report and recommendation prior to Jones’ petition

for writ of mandamus, and the district court has subsequently

denied Jones’ § 2241 petition. Accordingly, although we grant

leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we deny Jones’ 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
