PER CURIAM:
Brian D. 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
