PER CURIAM:
James M. Preston petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district court
has unduly delayed acting on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition. Our review of the district
court’s docket reveals that the district court has granted Preston’s petition. Preston v.
Gomez, No. 1:19-cv-00114-TSK-MJA (N.D.W. Va. May 7, 2021). Accordingly, 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
