        PER CURIAM:

               Kevin A. Baker petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district court has

        unduly delayed acting on his motion for a sentence reduction under Section 404 of the First

        Step Act of 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-391, 132 Stat. 5194. 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 granted Baker’s motion. Accordingly, because the district court has

        recently decided Baker’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
