PER CURIAM:

Jermaine Bell petitions for a writ of mandamus, 

alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his 

Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) motion for reconsideration of that court’s 

denial of Bell’s 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2012) 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 denied Bell’s motion on February 2, 2015. Accordingly, 

because the district court has recently decided Bell’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
