PER CURIAM:

Bernard Middleton petitions for a writ of mandamus, 

alleging unreasonable delay by the district court and seeking an 

order directing the district court to act. Our review of the 

district court’s docket sheet discloses that on February 24, 

2015, the district court ruled on Middleton’s motion to amend a 

district court judgment. Accordingly, we grant leave to proceed 

in forma pauperis and 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
