Leland Fortney petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2000) petition. He seeks an order from this court directing the district court to act. Our review of the district court’s docket reveals that the district court issued an order adopting the magistrate judge’s report and recommendations. Fortney v. Yancey, No. 2:05-cv-2168-RBH, 2007 WL 1202766 (D.S.C. Apr. 20, 2007). Accordingly, because the district court has recently decided Fortney’s case, we deny the mandamus petition as moot. We grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis. 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.
