PER CURIAM:
Anthony Augustus Thomas, a federal prisoner, petitions
this court for a writ of mandamus, seeking an order compelling
the district court to rule on his 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp.
2009) motion to vacate. The district court dismissed Thomas’s
28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 motion on April 24, 2009. Accordingly,
although we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, 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 us and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
PETITION DENIED
