OPINION

Pro se petitioner Wayne Charles seeks a writ of mandamus to compel the District Court for the Virgin Islands to act in the proceedings on his motion filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255. Charles filed his motion on June 7, 2000; he later amended the motion on April 22, 2003, and he also filed motions for summary judgment.

Mandamus is an appropriate remedy only in the most extraordinary of situations. In re Pasquariello, 16 F.3d 525, 528 (3d Cir. 1994). To justify such a remedy, a petitioner must show that he has (I) no other adequate means of obtaining the desired relief and (ii) a “clear and indisputable” right to issuance of the writ. See Haines v. Liggett Group, Inc., 975 F.2d 81, 89 (3d Cir. 1992) (citing Kerr v. United States District Court, 426 U.S. 394, 402, 96 S.Ct. 2119, 48 L.Ed.2d 725 (1976)). It is well-settled that the manner in which a district court disposes of the cases on its docket is committed to its sound discretion. In re Fine Paper Antitrust Litigation, 685 F.2d 810, 817 (3d Cir. 1982). Some delays, however, are so intolerable as to warrant appellate intervention. See Madden v. Myers, 102 F.3d 74, 79 (3d Cir. 1996). 1

*598 Charles’s action in District Court was pending at the time he filed this mandamus petition in April 2005. However, the District Court denied Charles’s section 2255 motion and other pending motions by memorandum opinion and order entered July 28, 2005. Thus, the matter before us is now moot.

Accordingly, we will deny the petition for a writ of mandamus.
