In Re: Perkins

Opinion

UNPUBLISHED

UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 10-1647

In Re: VICTOR PERKINS,

Petitioner.

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (5:92-hc-00654-BR)

Submitted: July 22, 2010 Decided: July 30, 2010

Before NIEMEYER, GREGORY, and SHEDD, Circuit Judges.

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Victor Perkins, Petitioner Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Victor Perkins petitions for a writ of mandamus,

alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his May

3, 2010 motion to vacate and dismiss the civil commitment. 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 the motion on May 24, 2010. Accordingly,

because the district court has recently decided Perkins’ motion,

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
