In re: Janison VEAL, a/k/a Jason, Petitioner, 238 F. App'x 928

PER CURIAM: Janison Veal petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging the district court has unduly delayed in acting on the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation issued on September 29, 2006, relative to Veal’s motion filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000). Veal seeks an order from this court directing the district court to act. Our review of the docket sheet reveals that the district court since has filed its order adopting the report and recommendation of the magistrate judge, and granting in

part Veal’s § 2255 motion. Accordingly, because the district court has acted in Veal’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 the court and argument would not aid the decisional process. PETITION DENIED.
