On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (7:07-cr-00294-HFF-9).

Before MOTZ and WYNN, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.
Petition denied by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Pierre Gentry petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his motion for a new trial. 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 recently entered a decision in the underlying action. Accordingly, because the district court has recently decided Gentry'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.
