PER CURIAM:

Ernest Keith, Jr., petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district court
has unduly delayed acting on his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2018) 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 has since denied relief on Keith’s § 2255 motion. Accordingly,
because the district court has recently decided Keith’s case, we 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
