PER CURIAM:

Roberto Antoine Darden petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district

court has unduly delayed in acting on postjudgment motions filed in his criminal case

between February and December of 2023. Darden 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 denied relief

on the pending motions by order entered on June 26, 2024. See United States v. Darden,

No. 4:11-cr-00052-AWA-LRL-1 (E.D. Va., PACER No. 273). Because the district court

has recently decided the subject motions, 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 this court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.

PETITION DENIED
