PER CURIAM:
In November 2018, after receiving a copy of a petition for a writ of mandamus that
Jeffrey A. Pleasant filed in this court, the district court erroneously docketed the
mandamus petition as a new action. After realizing its mistake, the district court entered
an order directing the district court clerk to dismiss the action from its docket. Pleasant
now appeals the district court’s order.
We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, although
we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we affirm for the reasons stated by the
district court. Pleasant v. U.S. Dist. Ct. E. Dist. of Va., No. 3:18-cv-00773-REP-RCY
(E.D. Va. Feb. 27, 2019). 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.
AFFIRMED
