In Re Shawn Kelly, Petitioner, 14 F.3d 595 (4th Cir. 1994)

Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit - 14 F.3d 595 (4th Cir. 1994) Submitted Dec. 16, 1993. Decided Jan. 24, 1994

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.

Shawn Kelly, Petitioner Pro Se.

PETITION DENIED.

Before HALL and NIEMEYER, Circuit Judges, and SPROUSE, Senior Circuit Judge.

PER CURIAM:


Shawn Kelly petitions this Court for a Writ of Mandamus directing the district court to rule on his motion made under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (1988), his motion to set an evidentiary hearing, appoint counsel, and grant leave to conduct discovery, or his motion for default judgment. The record discloses that the district court issued an order granting Sec. 2255 relief on November 17, 1993. Because his petition is now moot, we deny Kelly's application for a Writ of Mandamus and grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis.

PETITION DENIED.
