PER CURIAM:

Victor B. Perkins petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district court 

has unduly delayed acting on his civil case. He seeks an order from this court directing the 

district court to act. Our review of the district court’s docket reveals that the court

dismissed Perkins’ action on November 20, 2019. Accordingly, because the district court 

has recently decided Perkins’ case, while we grant Perkins leave to proceed in forma 

pauperis, we deny the mandamus petition as moot. 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
