Decided: October 2, 2017

Appeal: 17-1870

Doc: 9

Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM:
Robert Bove petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district court has
unduly delayed acting on his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2012) motion, as well as his pro se
motion for discovery. Bove seeks an order from this court directing the district court to
act, and he has filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis. Our review of the
district court’s docket reveals that the district court recently denied Bove’s motions.
Accordingly, although we grant Bove’s application to proceed in forma pauperis, we
deny the mandamus petition as moot. 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
