PER CURIAM:
George Paul Laroque petitions for a writ of mandamus,
alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his
appeal from the bankruptcy court. He seeks an order from this
court directing the district court to act. Our review of the
docket sheet reveals that the district court denied Laroque’s
motions for injunctive relief on December 22, 2008, and
consolidated the four appeals Laroque has filed in order to rule
on his remaining outstanding motions on December 24, 2008.
Accordingly, because the district court has recently decided
Laroque’s case, we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis and
deny the mandamus petition as moot. 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
