District of Montana,
Missoula

Petitioner,
ORDER
v.
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF MONTANA,
MISSOULA,
Respondent,
JIM SALMONSON,
Real Party in Interest.
Before: CLIFTON, IKUTA, and LEE, Circuit Judges.
Petitioner has not demonstrated that this case warrants the intervention of the
court by means of the extraordinary remedy of mandamus. See Bauman v. U.S.
Dist. Court, 557 F.2d 650 (9th Cir. 1977); see also Demos v. U.S. Dist. Court, 925
F.2d 1160, 1161 (9th Cir. 1991) (“[T]his court lacks jurisdiction to issue a writ of
mandamus to a state court.”). Accordingly, the petition is denied.
Petitioner’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis (Docket Entry No. 2) is
denied as moot.
