PER CURIAM:

Marlon Cortez Ross 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 issued an opinion denying and dismissing Ross’ motion on
October 22, 2019. Accordingly, because the district court has decided Ross’ 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
