PER CURIAM:
Michael R. White petitions for writ of mandamus, alleging that the district court
failed to rule on his motion for reconsideration in the underlying case in which White is
not a party prior to transmitting the defendant’s appeal in that cast to this court. He seeks
an order from this court directing the district court to act on his motion. Our review of the
district court’s docket reveals that the district court denied White’s motion on January 29,
2026. We deny White’s motion seeking to prohibit dismissal of the appeal of the
underlying judgment and, because the district court has ruled on White’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
