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
