PER CURIAM:
Cornelius Deon Rivers petitions for a writ of
mandamus, alleging that the district court has unduly delayed in
ruling on his sealed motion. He seeks an order from this court
directing the district court to act. The district court entered
an order denying Rivers’ sealed motion on October 1, 2012.
Accordingly, because the district court has ruled on Rivers’
motion, 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 this court and argument would not aid
the decisional process.
PETITION DENIED
