PER CURIAM:
David Lewis petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that
the district court has unduly delayed in ruling on his 28 U.S.C.
§ 2255 (2012) motion. He seeks an order from this court
directing the district court to act. Our review of the district
court’s docket reveals that the court dismissed the § 2255
motion and dismissed as moot Lewis’ motion for adjudication of
the § 2255 motion by order dated July 18, 2016. Accordingly,
because the district court has recently ruled on Lewis’ motions,
we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis and deny the
mandamus petition as moot. 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
