PER CURIAM:
Iris F. Allen petitions this court for a writ
mandamus, alleging that the district court unduly delayed acting
on her 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2013) motion to vacate.
She seeks an order from this court directing the district court
to act. Because the district court entered an order denying
Allen’s § 2255 motion on August 28, 2013, we deny the mandamus
petition as moot.∗ We grant Allen 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
∗ Issues raised in Allen’s Addendum, filed after the August
28 decision, are more properly considered on direct appeal. We
note that Allen’s direct appeal, pending in this court as No.
13-7607, is not yet ripe for disposition.
