Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM:
Douglas Leigh Fauconier petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging the district
court has unduly delayed acting on his civil action. He 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 has recently granted Fauconier’s application to proceed in forma pauperis
and ordered the Defendants to file a response to his complaint. Accordingly, because the
district court has recently acted in Fauconier’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
