PER CURIAM:
David Fields petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging
the district court has unduly delayed acting on his 28 U.S.C.
§ 2255 (2000) motion. He seeks an order from this court directing
the district court to act. We find there has been no undue delay
in the district court as the court has now ruled on the merits of
the case. See In re: Fields, No. 9:02-cv-3708 (D.S.C. Nov. 6,
2006). Accordingly, we grant Fields’ motion to proceed in forma
pauperis and deny the mandamus petition as moot. 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
