PER CURIAM:

Raymond Edward Chestnut petitions for a writ of mandamus, 

alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his 

motion for reconsideration of the order denying Chestnut’s 

Motion Arresting Judgment. He seeks an order from this court to 

compel the district court to act. Our review of the district 

court’s docket reveals that the district court entered a text 

order denying Chestnut’s motion for reconsideration on September 

28, 2015. Accordingly, because the district court has recently 

ruled on Chestnut’s motion, 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
