He seeks an order from this court directing the district court to act. Our review of the docket sheet reveals that the district court recently denied Pearson s § 2254 petition. Accordingly, because the district court has decided Pearson s case, we deny the mandamus petition as moot. dispense We grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis. with oral argument because the facts and We legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
