States Attorney, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Raleigh, North
Carolina, for Respondent.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

       Victor Bernard Perkins petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district

court has unduly delayed acting on his motion for compassionate release. 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 denied the motion without prejudice on August 27,

2021. Accordingly, because the district court has recently decided Perkins’ motion, 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
