PER CURIAM:
Raymond Edward Chestnut petitions for a writ of mandamus,
alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his
motion

for

reconsideration

Motion Arresting Judgment.

of

the

order

denying

Chestnut’s

He seeks an order from this court to

compel the district court to act.

Our review of the district

court’s docket reveals that the district court entered a text
order denying Chestnut’s motion for reconsideration on September
28, 2015.

Accordingly, because the district court has recently

ruled on Chestnut’s motion, 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

this

court

and

argument would not aid the decisional process.

PETITION DENIED
