    John Carl Roes filed a petition for a writ of mandamus to compel the district court to act on his civil complaint for race and sex discrimination that he filed in May 1994. The district court had notified Roes in June 1994 to provide more specifics in his complaint, which he had failed to do. The appeals court found that the delay in the district court so far had not been unreasonable. Therefore, the court denied Roes' petition for a writ of mandamus, while granting him leave to proceed in forma pauperis and denying his motion for appointment of counsel.

    In Re: John Carl ROES, Petitioner.


    No. 94-8046.

    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.


    Submitted Aug. 25, 1994.
    Decided Oct. 17, 1994.

    On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.


    John Carl Roes, Petitioner Pro Se.
    PETITION DENIED.
    Before RUSSELL and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges, and PHILLIPS, Senior
    Circuit Judge.
    PER CURIAM:

    John Carl Roes filed a petition for a Writ of Mandamus to compel the district
    court to act on his civil complaint for race and sex discrimination. Roes filed
    his complaint in May 1994. In June 1994, the district court notified Roes to
    particularize his complaint because he failed to set forth any specific details of
    discrimination. We find that the delay in the district court has not been
    unreasonable. Accordingly, although we grant leave to proceed in forma
    pauperis, we deny Roes' motion for appointment of counsel and deny the
    petition for a Writ of Mandamus.

    PETITION DENIED.
