    Danny Merriweather Jr. filed a petition for a writ of mandamus alleging undue delay by the district court in acting on his motion for a sentence reduction. The appellate court reviewed the district court docket and found that the district court had granted relief on Merriweather's motion in an order on August 21, 2015. Therefore, the appellate court denied the mandamus petition as moot since the district court had recently decided the case. The appellate court also granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis and dispensed with oral argument.

    relief

    on
