Petition dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Paul Nagy, Petitioner Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Paul Nagy, who is presently confined at FCI-Butner, petitions this court for a writ of mandamus directing the district court to rule on four motions prior to conducting a hearing on whether Nagy should remain in the custody of the Attorney General. The mandamus petition was filed on March 21, 2000, the date the hearing orig- inally was scheduled. The hearing was postponed and took place on March 28. Because the hearing has already occurred, we deny the mandamus petition as moot. We therefore deny the motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss the petition. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal arguments are adequately presented in the materials before us and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
