PER CURIAM:

Andre D. Whitfield filed a petition for writ of mandamus, 

seeking an order directing the district court to issue a ruling 

on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2012) petition. The district court 

issued its final order in the § 2241 action on February 19, 

2016. Accordingly, we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis 

and deny the mandamus petition as moot. 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
