PER CURIAM:

Joseph Hussell, on behalf of himself and a minor, A.H., petitions for a writ of 

mandamus, alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his petition for habeas 

corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2018). He seeks an order from this court directing the 

district court to act. Our review of the district court’s docket reveals that the magistrate 

judge assigned to Hussell’s case entered his proposed findings and recommendation 

regarding Hussell’s petition for habeas corpus on February 14, 2020. Accordingly, because 

the district court has acted in Hussell’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. 

PETITION DENIED
