PER CURIAM:
Jeannette Soto Santini petitions for a writ of mandamus directing the district court
to transmit her notice of appeal to this court, rule on her motion to proceed in forma
pauperis on appeal and other postjudgment motions, and notify her when the United States
Marshals Service confirms execution of the summons on the defendants.* Our review of
the district court’s docket reveals that the district court has transmitted Santini’s notice of
appeal to this court, denied her timely postjudgment motions, denied her application to
proceed in forma pauperis on appeal, and denied her motion to have the United States
Marshals Service serve her complaint because her complaint has already been dismissed.
Further, this court has docketed Santini’s appeal in No. 26-1430, Santini v. Adventure
Tours by Dawn. Accordingly, because the district court has recently decided Santini’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.
PETITIONS DENIED
* Santini also moves to require service from this court by United States mail. We
deny the motion as moot because Santini is already receiving notifications from this court
by mail.
