PER CURIAM:
Michael Kenny Carter petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district
court has unduly delayed in ruling on his motion to dismiss his criminal case for lack of
subject matter jurisdiction. 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 the
motion on May 2, 2023. Accordingly, because the district court has recently acted on
Carter’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
