PER CURIAM:
Jack Dewhan Randolph filed a petition for writ of
mandamus alleging undue delay in the district court’s ruling on his
28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000) motion. The district court ruled on the
motion on December 17, 2004, after Randolph filed his mandamus
petition. Accordingly, the mandamus petition is now moot.
Therefore, although we grant Randolph’s motion to proceed in forma
pauperis, we deny the petition for mandamus relief. We dispense
with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are
adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument
would not aid the decisional process.
PETITION DENIED
