PER CURIAM:
Kenneth Wayne Watford petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district
court has unduly delayed acting on his motion to return expunged state court records, and
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 Watford’s motion on April 7, 2025.
Accordingly, because the district court has recently decided Watford’s case, we deny
Watford’s pending motions and 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
