PER CURIAM:
James Michael Johnson petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district
court has unduly delayed acting on his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 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 Johnson’s § 2255 motion on April 17, 2025. Accordingly,
because the district court has recently decided Johnson’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.
