PER CURIAM: Dennis A. Forbes petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district court has unduly delayed acting on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 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 denied Forbes’s § 2241 petition on March 18, 2025. Accordingly, because the district court has recently decided Forbes’s case, we deny the mandamus petition as moot. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and the legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

PETITION DENIED
