PER CURIAM:

Theodore Justice petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district court 

has unduly delayed effectuating service and ruling on his civil complaint. He seeks an 

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

docket reveals that the magistrate judge recently took significant action in Justice’s case. 

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
