PER CURIAM:
Hubert Downer petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district court has
unduly delayed acting on his motion for compassionate release. 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 Downer’s motion on August 28, 2025. Accordingly, because
the district court has recently decided Downer’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
