PER CURIAM:

Juan Gutierrez petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging 

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

§ 2241 (2012) petition. 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 dismissed the 

§ 2241 petition on May 20, 2016. Accordingly, because the 

district court has recently decided Gutierrez’s 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
