PER CURIAM:

Michael T. Rand petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district court 

has unduly delayed in ruling on his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2018) 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 dismissed Rand’s § 2255 motion on March 6, 2020. 

Accordingly, 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
