PER CURIAM:
Steven Desmond Peterson petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging unreasonable
delay by the district court in ruling on a number of pending motions and seeking an order
directing the district court to act. Our review of the district court’s docket sheet discloses
that the district court ruled upon all pending motions by order entered on August 15, 2019.
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 this court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
PETITION DENIED
