Appeal: 15-1684

Doc: 7

Filed: 11/18/2015

Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM:
Dwight

Avon

Major

petitions

this

court

for

a

writ

of

mandamus, seeking an order directing his immediate release from
prison.
2015.

However, Major was released from prison on July 27,
Thus, the mandamus petition is moot because Major has

already obtained the relief he seeks.

Accordingly, although we

grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we deny his petition
for writ of mandamus.

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
