Hudson

petitions

for

a

writ

of

mandamus, alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting
on his motion for a reduction in sentence pursuant to 18 U.S.C.
§ 3582(c) (2006), which he filed in May 2005.

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 recently dismissed the motion as moot.

Accordingly, because

the district court has issued a ruling on this motion, we deny
the mandamus petition as moot.
