PER CURIAM:

Marlon Cortez Ross petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district court 

has unduly delayed acting on his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2018) 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 issued an opinion denying and dismissing Ross’ motion on 

October 22, 2019. Accordingly, because the district court has decided Ross’ 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
