    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS


    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

    No. 13-1693

    In Re:

    JOSEPH MCCOY POWELL,


    Petitioner.

    On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.


    (2:93-cr-00004-BO-1)

    Submitted:

    October 22, 2013

    Decided:

    November 8, 2013

    Before NIEMEYER, AGEE, and KEENAN, Circuit Judges.

    Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

    Joseph McCoy Powell, Petitioner Pro Se.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

    PER CURIAM:
    Joseph McCoy Powell petitions for a writ of mandamus,
    alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his 18
    U.S.C. 3582(c)(2) (2006) motion for reduction of sentence.

    He

    seeks an order from this court directing the district court to


    act.

    Our review of the district courts docket reveals that the

    district court granted relief on Powells motion in an order


    entered on October 11, 2013.

    Accordingly, because the district

    court has recently decided Powells case, we deny the mandamus


    petition as moot.

    We grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis.

    We

    oral

    dispense

    contentions

    with
    are

    argument

    adequately

    because

    presented

    in

    the

    facts

    and

    the

    materials

    legal
    before

    this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

    PETITION DENIED
