PER CURIAM:
Robert Edward Tillery petitions for a writ of
mandamus, alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting
on his motion for a reduction of sentence under 18 U.S.C.
§ 3582(c)(2) (2006). He seeks an order from this court
directing the district court to act. Our review of the docket
sheet and record reveals that the district court denied
Tillery’s motion by order entered on November 1, 2009.
Accordingly, because the district court has recently decided
Tillery’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 the court and argument would
not aid the decisional process.
PETITION DENIED
