PER CURIAM:

Kenneth Lane Pegram petitions this Court for a writ of 

mandamus, seeking an order directing the district court to rule 

on his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2012) motion. District court records 

disclose that the district court entered an opinion and order 

denying Pegram’s § 2255 motion on August 5, 2016. Because the 

district court has acted on Pegram’s motion, we deny the 

mandamus petition as moot. We grant leave to proceed in forma 

pauperis and 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
