Eugene Fields, petitioner pro se
Before WIDENER and CHAPMAN, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:
Petitioner Eugene Fields, aka Verlon Scott, has applied to this Court for a writ of mandamus directing the district court to act on his motion to vacate sentence, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255. Fields has also filed in this Court a 'Motion for Accelerated Disposition' of his mandamus petition.
The district court has now entered a judgment dismissing Fields's motion to vacate his sentence. See United States v. Fields, C/A No. 86-0132-E(K); Cr. No. 84-00048-E-01 (N.D. W.Va. May 6, 1987).
Accordingly, although leave to proceed in forma pauperis is granted, the petition for a writ of mandamus and the accompanying motion are dismissed for mootness.
DISMISSED.
