Sean Lamont Dudley petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging the district court unduly delayed acting on his August 2004 motion for reconsideration of the denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000) motion. He seeks an order from this court directing the district court to act. Our review of the district court’s docket sheet reveals that the district court recently entered a final judgment on Dudley’s motion for consideration. See Dudley v. United States, No. 5:99-cv-00152 (W.D.N.C. Aug. 7, 2006). 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 before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

PETITION DENIED
