PER CURIAM:

Steve Hale petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district court has
unduly delayed acting on his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2018) motion. He seeks an order from this
court directing the district court to act. Our review of the district court’s docket reveals
that on January 22, 2020, the district court denied relief on Hale’s § 2255 motion.
Accordingly, because the district court has recently decided Hale’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
