PER CURIAM:
Raymond Garfield Butler petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging the district
court has unduly delayed acting on his Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) motion. 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 has ruled on the Rule 60(b) motion. Accordingly, because
the district court has recently decided Butler’s case, we deny the mandamus petition as
moot. We deny Butler’s motion for appointment of counsel as moot and grant leave to
proceed in forma pauperis. 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
