Appeal: 17-1181
Doc: 8
Filed: 08/09/2017
Pg: 2 of 2
PER CURIAM:
Brent Renard Christian petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging the district court
has unduly delayed acting on his 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 adopted the report and recommendation of the magistrate
judge and dismissed Christian’s § 2255 motion. Accordingly, because the district court
has recently decided Christian’s case, 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
