PER CURIAM:

Billy E. Lunsford 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 Lunsford’s motion on 

December 4, 2015. Accordingly, because the district court has 

recently decided Lunsford’s case, 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
