Robert Lee Hood petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 2002) petition. He seeks an order from this court directing the district court to act. Our review of the docket sheet reveals that the district court dismissed his petition on March 10, 2003. Accordingly, because the district court has recently decided Hood’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 the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

PETITION DENIED.
