PER CURIAM:
Harry Charity, III, petitions for a writ of mandamus,
alleging that the district court has unduly delayed acting 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 district court ruled on
the § 2255 motion, denying it and declining to grant a
certificate of appealability. Accordingly, because the district
court has recently decided Charity’s case, 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
