(1) Effective October 1, 1998, in response to the Prison Litigation Reform Act, reporting procedures were changed to record pro se mandamus petitions for which filing fees were not paid at filing as original proceedings requiring judicial review on the merits. Thus, these pro se mandamus petitions are no longer reported separately, but are now included in the "other" appeals filed category. Source: Unpublished Table 3 and Federal Court Management Statistics
