Narrative Opinion Summary
Petition for a writ of mandamus by Arthur Rodgers is denied based on an unpublished PER CURIAM opinion, which is not binding precedent in this circuit. Rodgers claimed undue delay by the district court in processing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 civil rights action and his motion for injunctive relief, requesting an order for the district court to act. However, the review of the district court's docket shows that the court has already denied the preliminary injunction and dismissed Rodgers' complaint. Consequently, the mandamus petition is deemed moot and is denied. Additionally, Rodgers' request to file an out-of-time supplement to his petition is granted. Oral argument is deemed unnecessary as the existing materials sufficiently present the facts and legal issues.
