PER CURIAM:
Kenneth Kennedy Shannon 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 has denied relief on Shannon’s § 2255 motion. United
States v. Shannon, No. 2:13-cr-00977-DCN-8 (D.S.C. Oct. 27, 2022). Accordingly,
because the district court has recently decided Shannon’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.
PETITION DENIED
