PER CURIAM:
Thomas Anthony Hammond petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the
district court has unduly delayed acting on his motion for compassionate release. He seeks
an order from this court directing the district court to act. Our review of the district court’s
docket reveals that the district court denied his motion on September 22, 2025.
Accordingly, because the district court has recently ruled on Hammond’s motion, 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
