PER CURIAM:
Edward Aaron Whitehead petitions for a writ of
mandamus, alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting
on this court’s order remanding the case to the district court
to permit resentencing. He seeks an order from this court
directing the district court to act. Our review of the district
court’s docket reveals that the district court has granted
Whitehead’s motion to reduce his prison sentence to thirty
months. Accordingly, because the district court has recently
decided Whitehead’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
