PER CURIAM:
Joseph Freeman petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district court has
unduly delayed acting on his motion for a sentence reduction under the First Step Act. 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 granted in part and denied in part the motion
on August 11, 2023. Accordingly, because the district court has recently decided
Freeman’s case, 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
