PER CURIAM:
Olander R. Bynum, a North Carolina inmate, filed a petition for a writ of
mandamus, seeking an order directing the district court to order state prison officials to
release him pending appeal. This court has dismissed his appeal. See Bynum v.
Allsbrook, 745 F. App’x 496 (4th Cir. 2018) (Nos. 18-6709/7168). Accordingly,
although we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we deny the petition for writ of
mandamus 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
