Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.


David Willis, Petitioner Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

           David   Willis     petitions    for    a   writ    of     mandamus,

alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his 28

U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2011) 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 the motion on January 23, 2012.           Accordingly, because the

district court has recently decided Willis’ 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 the court and argument would not aid the

decisional process.



                                                             PETITION DENIED
