Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM:
Frederick J. Andrews petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging the district court
has unduly delayed acting on the civil action that he initiated in August 2017. He seeks an
order from this court directing the district court to act. Our review of the district court’s
docket reveals that the court recently granted defendants’ motions to dismiss, dismissed
the parties that Andrews failed to serve, and dismissed without prejudice his amended
complaint. Accordingly, because the district court has recently decided Andrews’ case, we
deny the mandamus petition as moot. We dispense with oral argument because the facts
and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and
argument would not aid the decisional process.
PETITION DENIED
