    IN RE: Juan GUTIERREZ, Petitioner.
    No. 16-1439
    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted: September 1, 2016
    Decided: September 16, 2016
    Juan Gutierrez, Petitioner Pro Se.
    Before MOTZ, SHEDD, and KEENAN, Circuit Judges.
   Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Juan Gutierrez petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2012) petition. 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 the § 2241 petition on May 20, 2016. Accordingly, because the district court has recently decided Gutierrez’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 this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

PETITION DENIED
