USCA4 Appeal: 22-1781      Doc: 9         Filed: 09/26/2022      Pg: 2 of 2

        PER CURIAM:

               David Cain, Jr., petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district court has

        unduly delayed in acting on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition. 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 Cain’s § 2241 petition shortly after he filed this mandamus

        petition. Accordingly, because the district court has recently decided Cain’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
