UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 20-1240 In re: JOSE DELORES VANEGAS, a/k/a Chivito, Petitioner. On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (1:12-cr-00255-AJT-6; 1:16-cv-01291-AJT) Submitted: June 18, 2020 Before FLOYD, THACKER, and RUSHING, Circuit Judges. Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion. Jose Delores Vanegas, Petitioner Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. Decided: June 22, 2020 PER CURIAM: Jose Delores Vanegas petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district court has unduly delayed acting on his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2018) motion and his motions for a hearing, to expedite, and for return of property. He seeks an order from this court directing the district court to act. Our review of the district court’s docket reveals that on March 23, 2020, the district court denied Vanegas’ § 2255 motion and his motions to expedite and for a hearing, and on April 17, 2020, granted his motion for return of property. Accordingly, because the district court has recently addressed Vanegas’ motions, we deny the mandamus petition as moot. We dispense 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
