PER CURIAM:

Nathaniel Dante Rice petitions for a writ of mandamus,

seeking immediate release from imprisonment after the district 

court vacated Rice’s sentence upon his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2012) 

motion. Our review of the district court’s docket reveals that 

the district court held a resentencing hearing and Rice was 

released. Accordingly, 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 this court and 

argument would not aid the decisional process. 

PETITION DENIED
