PER CURIAM:
Jermaine

Bell

petitions

for

a

writ

of

mandamus,

alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his
Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) motion for reconsideration of that court’s
denial of Bell’s 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2012) 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 denied Bell’s motion on February 2, 2015.

Accordingly,

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