PER CURIAM:
Nikko Taylor Wright 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 has recently denied relief on Wright’s motion. See
United States v. Wright, No. 8:16-cr-00260-TDC-2 (D. Md. filed Aug. 17, 2021 & entered
Aug. 18, 2021). Accordingly, because the district court has decided Wright’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
