PER CURIAM: Matthew Jason Hutton petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district court has unduly delayed acting on his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion. 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 has since denied Hutton’s § 2255 motion. Accordingly, because the district court has recently decided Hutton’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
