PER CURIAM:
Edward Dane Jeffus petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district court
has unduly delayed acting on his objections to the magistrate judge’s report recommending
construing his Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) motion as an unauthorized successive 28 U.S.C. § 2255
motion and dismissing it on that basis. Jeffus seeks an order from this court directing the
district court to rule on his objections. Our review of the district court’s docket reveals that
the district court accepted the magistrate judge’s recommendation and dismissed Jeffus’s
motion by order entered March 2, 2026. United States v. Jeffus, No. 6:92-cr-00184-WO-2
(M.D.N.C., PACER Nos. 432, 433). Accordingly, because the district court has recently
decided Jeffus’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
