PER CURIAM: Roberto Antoine Darden petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district court has unduly delayed acting on his motion to alter or amend the district court’s order denying mandamus relief. Darden seeks an order from this court directing the district court to act. Our review of the district court’s docket reveals that the district court denied Darden’s motion to alter or amend by order entered January 29, 2026. Accordingly, because the district court has recently decided Darden’s motion, 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
