PER CURIAM:
Anthony Lee Thames 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. As the district court recently took
significant action in the case by issuing an order to show cause on
March 17, 2003, and Thames filed his response to the motion on
April 9, 2003, we deny Thames’ petition as moot. We deny leave to
proceed in forma pauperis. 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
