PER CURIAM:

William Douglas Hampton petitions for a writ of mandamus, 

alleging that the district court has failed to comply with this 

court’s mandate to transfer several motions to the docket of his 

pending declaratory judgment 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 

complied with the directions of our mandate. See Hampton v. 

Fed. Corr. Complex Petersburg, No. 1:15-cv-00318-CMH-TCB (E.D. 

Va. Apr. 6, 2016). Accordingly, because the district court has 

already taken the action Hampton requests, 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
