PER CURIAM:

Nivaldo Riascos petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district court has 

unduly delayed ruling on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2018) habeas petition. Riasco seeks an 

order from this court directing the district court to act. Our review of the district court’s 

docket reveals that the district court recently took significant action in Riasco’s § 2241 

petition—namely, extending the period for Riasco to file objections to the magistrate 

judge’s report and recommendation. Accordingly, we deny the mandamus petition. 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
