PER CURIAM:
Kelvin Andre Spotts petitions for a writ of mandamus,
seeking an order from this court directing the district court to
act on his motions for reconsideration of the district court’s
order denying his motion to reopen his initial 28 U.S.C. § 2255
(2012) proceedings in light of United States v. Fisher, 711 F.3d
460 (4th Cir. 2013). Our review of the district court’s docket
reveals that the district court has denied the motions for
reconsideration. Accordingly, because the district court has
recently acted on Spotts’ motions, we deny the mandamus petition
as moot. We grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis. Spotts’
motion to remove stay of mandate and amendment to petition for
rehearing and/or rehearing en banc is denied. 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
