Opinion:
Petition denied by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Howard Charles Hudson petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his motion for a reduction in sentence pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c) (2006), which he filed in May 2005. 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 has recently dismissed the motion as moot. Accordingly, because the district court has issued a ruling on this motion, 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.
