PER CURIAM: 

Cecil Simmons seeks to appeal the district court’s 

order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and 

denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) complaint. 

Simmons, who filed a motion for reconsideration with the 

district court pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) prior to filing 

his notice of appeal, requests only that this court remand the 

case to the district court so he may re-file objections to the 

magistrate judge’s report and recommendation after his initial 

objections were destroyed in the mail. However, the district 

court has granted Simmons’s motion and given him the opportunity 

to file his objections. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal as 

moot. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and 

legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials 

before the court and argument would not aid the decisional 

process. 

DISMISSED
