Donald Stuart Koontz, Petitioner Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

Decided: May 31, 2017

Appeal: 17-1480

Doc: 8

Filed: 05/31/2017

Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM:
Donald Stuart Koontz 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 denied Koontz’s motion on April 28, 2017. Accordingly, because the
district court has recently decided Koontz’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
