PER CURIAM:

Steven Dixon Prentice petitions for a writ of mandamus, 

alleging that the district court has unduly delayed in ruling on 

his “Demand for Release” in connection with his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 

(2012) petition. The district court’s docket sheet reveals that 

the court dismissed without prejudice Prentice’s § 2241 petition 

on May 27, 2016. Accordingly, we deny Prentice’s mandamus 

petition. 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
