PER CURIAM:

Hubert Downer petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district court has

unduly delayed acting on his motion for compassionate release. 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 granted Downer’s motion on August 28, 2025. Accordingly, because

the district court has recently decided Downer’s case, 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
