PER CURIAM:
Joseph McCoy Powell petitions for a writ of mandamus,
alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his 18
U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2006) motion for reduction of sentence. 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 relief on Powell’s motion in an order
entered on October 11, 2013. Accordingly, because the district
court has recently decided Powell’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
