PER CURIAM:
Delmar E. Walton filed a petition for a writ of mandamus alleging that the district
court has unduly delayed acting on his pending motions. He seeks an order from this court
directing the district court to act. Our review of the district court’s docket reveals that, in
March 2021, the district court granted Walton’s motions for appointment of counsel and
for production of documents, and, in June 2021, the district court denied Walton’s motion
for compassionate release. Accordingly, because Walton has no outstanding motions
pending in the district court, 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
