PER CURIAM: 

Carlos Woods petitions for a writ of mandamus, 

alleging that the district court has unduly delayed acting on 

his motion for a new trial and new counsel. He seeks an order 

from this court directing the district court to act. Our review 

of the district court’s docket sheet reveals that the district

court recently denied Woods’ motion. Accordingly, because the 

district court has acted on the 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
