PER CURIAM:

Reginald S. Tucker petitions for a writ of mandamus,

alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his

habeas corpus petition. He seeks an order from this court

directing the district court to act. Our review of the docket

sheet reveals that the district court dismissed the petition

without prejudice for failure to exhaust state court remedies.

Accordingly, because the district court has recently decided

Tucker’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
