An order to compel a public official to either perform or not perform is a Writ of Mandamus. When bringing the action against a federal official, it law can be found in 28 U.S.C. section 1361. However, if the action is to be brought against a state official, you must check the state's law and bring the action in the court with the proper jurisdiction. Additionally, a Writ of Mandamus cannot be used to compel an official to do something he or she is not stautorily required to do.
