PER CURIAM:
Juan Gutierrez petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging
the district court has unduly delayed acting on his 28 U.S.C.
§ 2241 (2012) 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 dismissed the
§ 2241 petition on May 20, 2016. Accordingly, because the
district court has recently decided Gutierrez’s case, we deny
the mandamus petition as moot. We grant leave to proceed in
forma pauperis. 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
