JUDGE
Respondent
March 19, 2009
PRO SE PETITION FOR WRIT OF
MANDAMUS [CIRCUIT COURT OF
CRAIGHEAD COUNTY, WESTERN
DISTRICT, CR 2004-820]
PETITION MOOT.
PER CURIAM
Now before us is a pro se petition for writ of mandamus filed by petitioner Walter A.
McCullough. The petition asks this court to direct the circuit judge below to act on a pro se petition
and amended petition filed by petitioner to vacate and set aside the judgment entered against him
pursuant to Act 1780 of 2001.1
In the instant petition for writ of mandamus, filed on February 3, 2009, petitioner contends
that the Honorable Victor L. Hill had failed to act on the petitions in a timely manner. Judge Hill
filed a response to the mandamus petition to which was appended a copy of his opinion entered on
February 9, 2009, in response to the Act 1780 petitions. As the court has acted on the petitions, the
petition for writ of mandamus is moot.
Petition moot.
