PER CURIAM:

Russell Lewis Walker petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district

court has unduly delayed acting on his complaint under

. He seeks an

order from this court directing the district court to act. Our review of the district court’s

docket reveals that on November 21, 2025, the district court adopted the magistrate judge’s

recommendation and dismissed the complaint. Accordingly, we deny Walker’s motion to

correct the record, grant his motion to seal his attachment to the motion, and, because the

the district court has recently decided Walker’s 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
