Appeal: 13-1693

Doc: 7

Filed: 11/08/2013

Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM:
Joseph McCoy Powell petitions for a writ of mandamus,
alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his 18
U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2006) motion for reduction of sentence.

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 relief on Powell’s motion in an order
entered on October 11, 2013.

Accordingly, because the district

court has recently decided Powell’s case, we deny the mandamus
petition as moot.

We grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis.

We
