        PER CURIAM:

               Joseph Freeman petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district court has

        unduly delayed acting on his motion for a sentence reduction under the First Step Act. 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 in part and denied in part the motion

        on August 11, 2023.       Accordingly, because the district court has recently decided

        Freeman’s case, we deny the mandamus petition as moot. 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

                                                      2
