PER CURIAM:

Robert Lee Saunders petitions for a writ of mandamus, 

alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his 

motion to reduce his sentence. 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 denied 

Saunders’ motion on November 23, 2015. Accordingly, because the 

district court has recently decided Saunders’ case, 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
