Amos Brown, petitioner pro se.
Before JAMES DICKSON PHILLIPS, SPROUSE and WILKINSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:


1
Complaining of delay, Amos Brown has petitioned this Court for a writ of mandamus compelling the district court to act upon his motion to vacate sentence, brought pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2255;  Brown has also applied for leave to proceed in forma pauperis on his petition.  Subsequent to Brown's filing his petition and application in this Court, the district court entered a final order denying his motion to vacate sentence.  Brown v. United States, C/A No. HM-87-421 (D.Md. Apr. 13, 1988).  Thus, Brown's petition for a writ of mandamus is moot and will be denied.


2
Accordingly, although leave to proceed in forma pauperis is granted, the petition for a writ of mandamus is denied as being moot and this action is dismissed.


3
DISMISSED.
