PRO SE PETITION FOR WRIT OF
MANDAMUS [CIRCUIT COURT OF
PULASKI COUNTY, CR 2008-1549]
JOHN CUMMINGS

v.
PETITION MOOT.
HON. WILLARD PROCTOR, CIRCUIT
JUDGE
Respondent
PER CURIAM
On October 20, 2009, petitioner John Cummings filed the pro se petition for writ of
mandamus that is now before us. He contended in the petition that the Honorable Willard
Proctor, Circuit Judge, had failed to act on a petition for postconviction relief pursuant to
Criminal Procedure Rule 37.1 that petitioner had filed in the Circuit Court of Pulaski County on
November 21, 2008.
On October 23, 2009, Judge Proctor provided this court with a copy of the order that
he had entered August 7, 2009, disposing of the Rule 37.1 petition. As the court has acted on
the Rule 37.1 petition, the petition for writ of mandamus is moot. Lenox v. Philhours, 2009 Ark.
517 (per curiam).
Petition moot.
