PER CURIAM: William Penn Reavis, Sr., petitions for a writ of

mandamus, alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp 2010) motion. He seeks an Our

order from this court directing the district court to act.

review of the district court's docket reveals that the district court dismissed several claims and ordered the Government to respond. Accordingly, because the district court has recently

taken action in Reavis'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
