PER CURIAM:
Donnie Wayne Nipper petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging the district court
has unduly delayed acting on his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2012) 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 granted Nipper’s § 2255 motion. Accordingly, because
the district court has recently acted in Nipper’s case, we deny the mandamus petition as
moot. We 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
