PER CURIAM:
Anthony Gene Trappier petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district
court has unduly delayed acting on Trappier’s Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) motion to reopen his
proceedings under 28 U.S.C. § 2255. Trappier seeks an order from this court directing the
district court to act. Our review of the district court’s docket reveals that the court denied
the Rule 60(b) motion by order entered on July 21, 2022. Accordingly, because the district
court recently decided Trappier’s motion, 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
