PER CURIAM:

Phillip Mace petitions for a writ of mandamus, 

alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his 28 

U.S.C. § 2255 (West Supp. 2009) 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 

granted Mace’s motion on April 12, 2010. Accordingly, because 

the district court has recently decided Mace’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 the court and argument would not aid the decisional 

process. 

PETITION DENIED
