PER CURIAM: Brian Damon Farabee petitions for a writ of mandamus seeking an order from this court directing the district court to act on his civil case, which had previously been administratively closed. Our review of the district court’s docket reveals that the court has administratively reopened his case and restored it to the court’s active docket.

Accordingly, 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
