    The court denied Muhammad's petition for a writ of mandamus alleging unreasonable delay by the district court in acting on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint. The court's docket showed that on November 25, 2014, the district court conditionally filed the complaint, granted Muhammad leave to proceed in forma pauperis, and directed him to submit the complaint on the proper form. In light of the district court's recent action, the appeals court held there was no unreasonable delay and denied the mandamus petition as moot.
