PER CURIAM:
Derwin Coles 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. Our review of the district court’s
docket sheet reveals that the district court denied Coles’ § 2255
motion on July 20, 2006. Accordingly, because the district court
has recently decided Coles’ case, we deny the mandamus petition as
moot. We grant Coles’ motion 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
