Robert W. Puckett petitions this court for a writ of mandamus directing the district court to act on his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000) motion. Our review of the district court docket sheet in that action reveals that the district court entered a final order on April 22, 2003, denying relief on Puckett’s § 2255 motion. Accordingly, although we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we deny the mandamus petition as moot. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials be *599 fore the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

PETITION DENIED
