Opinion

UNPUBLISHED

UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 10-1586

In Re: THOMAS J. SAVOCA,

Petitioner.

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (2:60-cv-00572)

Submitted: June 24, 2010 Decided: June 30, 2010

Before DUNCAN, AGEE, and DAVIS, Circuit Judges.

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Thomas J. Savoca, Petitioner Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Thomas J. Savoca petitions for a writ of mandamus,

alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his

Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) motion to alter or amend the judgment

denying relief 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 court’s

docket reveals that the district court, on June 8, 2010, denied

Savoca’s motion to alter or amend the judgment. In light of

this recent ruling, 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
