PER CURIAM:

Larry Max McDaniel 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 has dismissed 

McDaniel’s § 2255 motion. Accordingly, because the district 

court has recently decided McDaniel’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
