PER CURIAM: 

David Lewis petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that 

the district court has unduly delayed in ruling 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 court dismissed the § 2255 

motion and dismissed as moot Lewis’ motion for adjudication of 

the § 2255 motion by order dated July 18, 2016. Accordingly, 

because the district court has recently ruled on Lewis’ motions, 

we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis and 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
