PER CURIAM:
Floyd Junior Powell petitions for a writ of mandamus
seeking an order compelling the district court to act on his 28
U.S.C. § 2255 motion that was filed on November 4, 2002. Our
review of the docket reveals that the district court dismissed
Powell’s § 2255 motion on December 2, 2004, and we dismissed his
appeal of the order on April 14, 2006. Accordingly, we deny the
mandamus petition. 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
