PER CURIAM:

Samuel Tijuan Jones petitions for a writ of mandamus, 

seeking an order directing the magistrate judge to rule on 

Jones’ 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2006) motion. The magistrate judge 

issued his report and recommendation prior to Jones’ petition 

for writ of mandamus, and the district court has subsequently 

denied Jones’ § 2241 petition. Accordingly, although we grant 

leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we deny Jones’ 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
