PER CURIAM: Willie A. Key petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district court has unduly delayed in serving his amended 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 recommended dismissing Key’s complaint without service of process. 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
