PER CURIAM:
Dwight Avon Major petitions this court for a writ of
mandamus, seeking an order directing his immediate release from
prison. However, Major was released from prison on July 27,
2015. Thus, the mandamus petition is moot because Major has
already obtained the relief he seeks. Accordingly, although we
grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we deny his petition
for writ of mandamus. 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
