PER CURIAM:
Jimmy Reid petitions this court for a writ of
mandamus, seeking an order directing the district court to rule
on his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2012) petition. Our review of the
district court’s docket reveals that the court dismissed Reid’s
§ 2254 petition by order entered on September 30, 2014.
Accordingly, because Reid has received the relief he seeks, 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 this court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
PETITION DENIED
