    IN RE: Douglas Leigh FAUCONIER, Petitioner.
    No. 17-1473
    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted: August 2, 2017
    Decided: September 1, 2017
    Douglas Leigh Fauconier, Petitioner Pro Se.
    Before NIEMEYER, KING, and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges.
   Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Douglas Leigh Fauconier petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his civil action. He seeks an order from this court directing the district court to act. Our review of the district court’s docket reveals that the district court has recently granted Fauconier’s application to proceed in for-ma pauperis and ordered the Defendants to file a response to his complaint. Accordingly, because the district court has recently acted in Fauconier’s case, we deny the mandamus petition as moot. 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
