PER CURIAM:

Daniel Brown petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging 

unreasonable delay by the district court and seeking an order 

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

court’s docket sheet discloses that a final order was entered on 

October 20, 2015, denying relief on Brown’s 28 U.S.C. § 2254 

(2012) petition and his motion to alter or amend the judgment. 

Accordingly, 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
