PER CURIAM:
Tito Lemont Knox petitions for a writ of mandamus,
alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his
petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2000). He seeks an order
from this court directing the district court to act. Our review of
the docket sheet reveals that the district court accepted the
magistrate judge’s recommendation and dismissed Knox’s § 2241
petition. Accordingly, because the district court recently has
decided Knox’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 the court and argument would not
aid the decisional process.
PETITION DENIED
