PER CURIAM:

Samuel B. Jacobs petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging 

the district court has unduly delayed acting on 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 denied the § 2255 

motion on December 6, 2016. Accordingly, because the district 

court has recently decided Jacobs’ motion, 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
