PER CURIAM:

Donald Elbert Lewis 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 recently entered 

an order disposing of all but one of Lewis’ claims, and 

scheduling an evidentiary hearing as to that claim. 

Accordingly, although we grant 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
