Background
The petitioner sought a writ of mandamus alleging undue delay by the district court in ruling on objections to a magistrate judge’s report and recommendation in a civil case.
The court’s reasoning
The court reviewed the district court’s docket and found that the district court had adopted the magistrate judge’s recommendation and dismissed the case on June twenty fifth, two thousand and twenty six. Because the district court had recently decided the case, the petition was denied as moot.
Accordingly, because the district court has recently decided Ahnend’s case, we deny the mandamus petition as moot.
What it means going forward
The petitioner’s request for judicial intervention to compel action was denied due to the resolution of the underlying matter.
