PER CURIAM:

Damon Elliott petitions this court for a writ of mandamus, 

alleging that the district court has unduly delayed acting on this 

court’s order remanding his case to the district court to determine 

whether his notice of appeal should be construed as a motion to 

reopen the appeal period, and if so, whether reopening is merited. 

Elliott seeks an order from this court directing the district court 

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

on March 15, 2016, the district court entered an order granting 

Elliott’s motion to reopen the appeal period. Accordingly, we 

deny the mandamus petition as moot. We grant leave to proceed in 

forma pauperis. 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
