PER CURIAM:
Horace Linton Brown petitions for a writ of mandamus,
alleging that the district court has unduly delayed in ruling on
his motion under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2012). He seeks an order
from this court directing the district court to act. Our review
of the record discloses that the district court has ruled on the
§ 2255 motion. Accordingly, we grant leave 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 this court and
argument would not aid the decisional process.
PETITION DENIED
