DANIEL GABINO MARTINEZ; et al., Plaintiffs-Appellants, v. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Defendant-Appellee.


NOT FOR PUBLICATION

D.C. No. 3:13-cv-00554-MMD-VPC MEMORANDUM Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Nevada
Miranda M. Du, District Judge, Presiding Before: LEAVY, BERZON, and MURGUIA, Circuit Judges.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.

Plaintiffs appeal pro se from the district court's judgment in their action alleging unreasonable delay in the processing of their grazing application by the Bureau of Land Management ("BLM"). We dismiss.

Plaintiffs brought their complaint under the Administrative Procedures Act, 5 U.S.C. § 706(1), which provides the district court with authority to compel agency action when that action is unreasonably delayed. During the pendency of this case, the BLM acted on plaintiffs' application by sending plaintiffs a letter on March 14, 2014, acknowledging receipt of their application and pointing out several deficiencies in the application. Accordingly, plaintiffs' request to compel agency action on their application is moot, and we dismiss the appeal.

DISMISSED.
