PER CURIAM:

Michael Kenny Carter has filed a petition and supplemental petitions for a writ of 

mandamus alleging that the district court has unduly delayed acting on his 28 U.S.C. 

§ 2255 (2018) motion and on pending motions in that proceeding. He seeks an order from

this court directing the district court to act on his § 2255 motion and on the pending 

motions. Our review of the district court’s docket reveals that the district court denied 

Carter’s § 2255 motion on January 6, 2020, and has acted on the pending motions in that 

proceeding. Accordingly, because Carter has obtained the relief he sought, we deny the

petition and supplemental petitions for a writ of mandamus 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
