PER CURIAM:
Stanley Lorenzo Williams petitions for a writ of
mandamus, alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting
on his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2006) petition. He seeks an order from
this court directing the district court to act. Our review of
the docket sheet reveals that the district court has entered
final judgment dismissing Williams’ petition. Accordingly,
because the district court has recently decided Williams’ 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 the court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
PETITION DENIED
