    In re: Donnie Wayne SHEFFIELD, Petitioner.
    No. 12-1279.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted: July 19, 2012.
    Decided: July 23, 2012.
    Donnie Wayne Sheffield, Appellant Pro Se. Carrie Fisher Sherard, Assistant United States Attorney, Greenville, South Carolina, for Appellee.
    Before DUNCAN, AGEE, and WYNN, Circuit Judges.
   Petition denied by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Donnie Wayne Sheffield petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his motion for recusal filed in his 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp.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 denied the motion on March 14, 2012. Accordingly, because the district court has recently ruled on Sheffield’s motion, 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.
