• finding that an inmate-plaintiff’s § 1361 complaint was not subject to the PLRA because it was directed to a judge conducting a criminal trial

• holding that the application of the PLRA to man- damus petitions depends on the nature of the relief sought— only if the prisoner’s mandamus claim is analogous to the typ- ical suits brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaining about prison conditions does the PLRA apply
