    In re: Matthew TUCKER, Petitioner.
    No. 14-4720.
    United States Court of Appeals, Third Circuit.
    Submitted Pursuant to Rule 21, Fed. R.App. P. Feb. 12, 2015.
    Opinion Filed: March 9, 2015.
    Matthew Tucker, Greystone Hospital, Morris Plains, NJ, pro se.
    United States Attorney New Jersey, Office of United States Attorney, Newark, NJ, for Defendant-Respondent.
    Before AMBRO, JORDAN and KRAUSE, Circuit Judges.
   OPINION

PER CURIAM.

Matthew Tucker, proceeding pro se, submits a petition for a writ of mandamus to compel the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey to rule on a motion for reconsideration he filed on April 17, 2014 (which he identifies as ECF No. 91). He also appears to request that we direct the Clerk of the District Court, William T. Walsh, to amend some of the docket entries in his District Court case, so that their language exactly mirrors the language he uses on his filings. For the reasons that follow, we will deny the petition.

On December 23, 2014, while Tucker’s mandamus petition was pending, the District Court denied the motion for reconsideration (citing ECF No. 91 in ECF No. 175). Accordingly, we will deny as moot Tucker’s request for a writ of mandamus directing the District Court to rule on it. See Blanciak v. Allegheny Ludlum Corp., 77 F.3d 690, 698-99 (3d Cir.1996).

To the extent Tucker seeks a writ of mandamus directing the Clerk of the District Court to amend'information in the District Court docket entries, the request is denied. Mandamus is a remedy appropriate only in extraordinary circumstances. Madden v. Myers, 102 F.3d 74, 79 (3d Cir.1996). Tucker, whose filings are exceedingly difficult to read, and who does not show that he has tried to resolve his complaint with the District Court Clerk’s Office or through the District Court, has not established that he has a “clear and indisputable” right to the issuance of the writ and that he has “no other adequate means to obtain the desired relief.” Id. Given the difficulty the Clerk must encounter in deciphering the exact title of Tucker’s numerous filings, even if Tucker met the standard for mandamus relief, we would decline to exercise our discretion to grant it on his claim.

For these reasons, we deny Tucker’s mandamus petition. We also deny Tucker’s remaining pending motions, including his motion for compensatory and punitive damages, his motion to compel, his motion requesting the imposition of liens, his motion for this Court to accept evidence, and his motion for an extension of time to pay the fees for this action. Regarding his motion for an extension of time, we note that it is unnecessary because we granted his request to proceed in forma pauperis by order entered January 9, 2015. 
      
      This disposition is not an opinion of the full Court and pursuant to I.O.P. 5.7 does not constitute binding precedent.
     
      
      . We observe that Tucker has already filed an appeal (in connection with D.N.J. Civ. No. 13-cv-04417) of the District Court’s December 23, 2014 order denying reconsideration. That appeal remains pending at C.A. No. 15-1166 and has been listed by the Clerk for dismissal due to a.possible jurisdictional defect.
