PER CURIAM:
William Scott MacDonald petitions for a writ of
mandamus, alleging the district court has unduly delayed
granting his writ of habeas corpus. See MacDonald v. Moose, 710
F.3d 154 (4th Cir.), cert. denied, 134 S. Ct. 200 (2013). 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 granted the writ of habeas corpus on August 7,
2014. Accordingly, because the district court has acted, we
deny the mandamus petition as moot. We grant leave to proceed
in forma pauperis and we deny MacDonald’s motions to supplement
his petition and for appointment of counsel. 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
