PER CURIAM: 

Dwight Avon Major petitions this court for a writ of

mandamus, seeking an order directing his immediate release from

prison. However, Major was released from prison on July 27, 

2015. Thus, the mandamus petition is moot because Major has 

already obtained the relief he seeks. Accordingly, although we 

grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we deny his petition 

for writ of mandamus. 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
