PER CURIAM: 

 Martell Whitaker petitions for a writ of mandamus, 

alleging that the district court has unduly delayed acting on a 

Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) motion. He seeks an order from this court 

directing the district court to act. 

 Our review of the district court’s docket sheet 

reveals that the district court issued a final opinion and order 

denying Whitaker’s motion on December 21, 2009. Accordingly, 

because Whitaker has received the relief he sought, we deny the 

mandamus petition as moot. We grant leave to proceed in forma 

pauperis and 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
