PER CURIAM:
Larry Roger Ayscue, Jr., a state prisoner, petitions
this court for a writ of mandamus, seeking an order compelling
the district court to rule on his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2006)
petition. The district court dismissed Ayscue’s § 2254 petition
on January 31, 2012. 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
