UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 14-1460 In re: JOHN A. BRYANT, Petitioner. On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (3:09-CR-00347-REP-1) Submitted: September 23, 2014 Before NIEMEYER and Senior Circuit Judge. GREGORY, Decided: Circuit September 25, 2014 Judges, and HAMILTON, Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion. John A. Bryant, Petitioner Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: John A. Bryant petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging the district court has not responded to his inquiries into the status of his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2012) 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 entered an order on June 17, 2014, appointing counsel for Bryant, directing the filing of briefs on an issue identified by the court, and staying action on Bryant s § 2255 motion pending further order of the court. Accordingly, because the district court recently informed Bryant of the status of his § 2255 motion, we deny the mandamus petition as moot. leave to proceed in forma pauperis. We dispense We grant with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process. PETITION DENIED 2
