PER CURIAM:
Jonathan Pendleton petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district court
has unduly delayed ruling on the motions pending in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. 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 dismissed Pendleton’s § 1983 action and denied all
pending motions. Accordingly, because the district court has recently decided Pendleton’s
case, 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
